Beijing, May 28 (ANI): The father of a man, who was killed in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, hanged himself to death after failing to seek government redress for two decades in China.

A support group for parents of the massacre's victims said that 73-year-old Ya Weilin's body was found in an unused underground parking space of his residential complex.

According to news.com.au, a member of the group Zhang Xianling said that Ya killed himself to protest against the government's refusal to address the grievances of the victim's relatives.

Ya killed himself about a week before the anniversary of the massacre on the night of June 3-4, 1989, when the military crushed weeks long, student-led protests, which killed almost thousands of people. (ANI)
