Chinese President Hu Jintao had an unexpected interruption at a ceremony in Hong Kong Sunday.<br/> <br />"Vindicate June 4th!" "Release democratic activists!" a member of the Hong Kong election committee shouted...referring to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown of pro-democracy demonstrators.<br/> <br />The heckler was immediately tackled to the ground and dragged out by security.<br/> <br />Later he told Reuters he was acting according to his conscience and said things most Chinese citizens would have wanted to say themselves.<br/> <br />Hu is in Hong Kong to inaugurate the city's new leader, who was appointed by a committee in Beijing.<br/> <br />Although Hong Kong maintains a free-market status, it still can't elect it's own leaders.<br/> <br />China has promised the direct election of Hong Kong's leader in 2017, but many are skeptical the poll will be truly democratic.<br/> <br />Julie Noce, Reuters
