Bao Tong
On January 19, 2005, the Washington Post reported that Bao Tong and his wife were injured in attacks by more than 20 plainclothes security agents as they attempted to leave their home to pay their respect to the family of Zhao Ziyang, who died on January 17. The authorities would only allow him access to a doctor if he removed a white flower pinned to his vest. He refused. ("Note that the white flower is a traditional symbol of mourning") His wife, pushed to the ground by a policeman, fractured a bone in her spine that had her hospitalized for 3 months.
