Chinese paper prints Tianamen massacre photo
Updated
A Chinese newspaper faces punishment for running a photograph of the 1989 'Tiananmen Square Massacre'.
Our China Correspondent Stephen McDonell reports a leading Chinese newspaper has published a photo from 1989 showing victims of the crackdown on protestors in Tiananmen Square.
In the photo two men - who appear to have been shot - are being rushed away on the back of a pushbike.
The accompanying story is about the photographer who took it and the article doesn't mention the photo.
In China, stories about the 1989 Tiananmen incident are effectively prohibited. The Beijing News now faces disciplinary action.
Some commentators have suggested that senior editors might be sacked.
Nobody at the newspaper was available for comment.
