lpv:translated text	"Mr President, according to information provided by the human rights and democracy centre in Hong Kong, 200 people are still imprisoned in China because they took part in the demonstration in the Square of Heavenly Peace in 1989, seventeen years ago. Those young people who demonstrated entirely peacefully at the time are now prematurely aged, ground down as a result of the terrible conditions prevailing in Chinese prisons. I refer of course to those who survived. We should recall that the Chinese regime applied the death penalty to many of the protesters. It is estimated that 15 000 people were sentenced at the time. Every now and then we call this fact to mind, but on the whole we tend to ignore it. I hope my words today will raise awareness of it once again. We cannot bring back those who laid down their lives for the right to express their opinions, but we can do something for the 200 who are still languishing in Chinese jails. We must not be indifferent to their plight. They are pinning their hopes on us because they have nobody else to turn to."@en1
