(From Agence France Presse)
The United States urged the Chinese authorities to immediately release three women linked to victims of the 1989 brutal crackdown on Tiananmen Square and arrested by police at the weekend.

"We urge the immediate release of the three relatives of victims of the crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests who were recently detained in Beijing," US State Department spokesman Adam Ereli told reporters.
