CALL ON MR GOODLAD BY THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR:
15.30 HOURS, 30 APRIL 1992: REPORTED DETENTION OF MR
BOB PARRY MP
There have been press reports that a group of
European Parliamentarians was detained earlier this
afternoon in Tiananmen Square after unfurling a banner
calling for democracy and free trade unions.
Mr Bob Parry, a British MP, was a member of that
group.
According to reports, Chinese police and the
People's Armed police asked them to leave the Square
whereupon they sat down. The police then obliged the
group to enter a police bus and they were driven away.
