'Black Hand' of 1989 China Protests Back at Work:

A Chinese academic branded a "black hand" mastermind of the 1989 Tiananmen protests has quietly returned to work at a private think-tank 15 years after many of its researchers were jailed, sources said on Tuesday.

Chen Ziming, 52, who was sentenced to 13 years in jail, resumed work at the Beijing Social Economic Research Institute in late January, a development analysts saw as evidence China's new generation of rulers, led by Communist Party chief Hu Jintao, are more tolerant than their predecessors.

The think-tank can't afford to rent an office, but they've got a website: 北京社会经济科学研究所.
