The AIH criticises the Croatian delegation which, during its visit
to China last week, failed to warn their hosts about the violations
of human rights in this republic.
The organisation feels it was "particularly distasteful" to play
national anthems on Tiamenmen, a Beijing square on which hundreds
of people asking for more freedoms and human rights were killed in
1989. The AIH says that the Croatian authorities thus humiliated
the victims and their families who are still seeking justice for
their loved ones.
