Chinese-American author Iris Chang was eulogized in simultaneous
ceremonies in northern California, Washington and Nanjing, China, after
her apparent suicide earlier this month.
[AFP] | Beijing police canceled a candlelight
vigil scheduled for Monday night to memorialize "Rape of Nanking" author Iris
Chang, who killed herself in California earlier in the month.
Police asked for a halt to the event after hearing 10 lead
organizers discussing it on Monday morning, one organizer said.
The 10 are Chinese citizens, some of whom have a history of organizing
anti-Japan protests in Beijing.
