Chinese guards of honour stand against the backdrop of Tiananmen SquareUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to publicly account for those killed in the suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests 20 years ago.
Mrs Clinton said China should release those still held over the protests and stop harassing those who took part.
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people died in the crackdown and open discussion of the events remains taboo.
There is very tight security in Beijing, with police stopping foreign journalists reaching the square.
Uniformed and plain-clothed officials even stopped TV crews filming the daily flag-raising ceremony at dawn.
