Last year a doctor, Jiang Yanyong, 72, exposed China's SARS cover up. According to a source, he is now in custody and is undergoing 'study sessions' after he called for a reassessment of the Tiananmen Square protests which took place in 1989.

Dr. Yanyong is not allowed to meet anyone from outside. He and his wife, Hua Zhongwei, who used to work as a doctor at the Academy of Military Sciences, were arrested at the beginning of June. Coincidentally, the arrest took place just a couple of weeks before the 15th anniversary of the crackdown of the Tiananmen Square protests.

According to a statement issued by a source, obtained by Reuters, Hua went on a hunger strike in protest. She was released on June 15th and warned not to talk to reporters.

The Chinese Health Minister and the Mayor of Beijing were both sacked as a result of Dr. Yanyong's whistle blowing last year when he exposed China's SARS cover up.

In February of this year Dr. Yanyong wrote to Chinese leaders asking them for a reassessment of the Tiananmen Square protests. The protests were brutally crushed by the army - many people died.

The couple had to write down their thoughts. The study sessions will continue until their thoughts become more politically correct. Basically, this means they will be subjected to brainwashing sessions until they conform.

Dr. Yanyong is a 72-year-old man. What on earth are they playing at!!!
