Here's an example of how censorship have effectively silenced the truth for more than 12 years. The truth about how 288 school children died in a
theatre fire in China, 1994. Most Chinese have probably never heard about this fire. And if they have, they've probably not heard the true story.
These children will not be forgotten, thanks to the internet. They were sacrificed to add a few more years to the lives of some dying old men from the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
On December 8, 1994, there were more than 500 school children and some officials from the CCP in the theatre. A fire suddenly broke out on stage, and
the children were ordered to sit down. This was to ensure that the CCP officials could walk out of the theatre first. 288 children didn't make it out
alive.
China aghast at ‘sacrifice’ of 288 pupils
WHEN the first flames flared around the theatre’s stage, many of the excited Chinese children watching must have thought it was all part of the
show.
Within minutes 288 of them were dead, a tragedy that has haunted their parents for more than a decade but was forgotten by many as China began its
headlong rush to prosperity.
It is not forgotten any more, thanks to a band of internet campaigners who have exposed the shameful truth: the schoolchildren perished because they
were ordered to sit down in their theatre seats so that Communist party officials could leave first.

Whatever happened to "women and children first"? How do they sleep at night?
