Around 20 people from the League of Social Democrats have marched from Western Police Station to Beijing's liaison office to mark the death of former premier Li Peng.

Li, who died on Monday, was dubbed “the Butcher of Beijing” by his critics for his role in the June 4 Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

The protesters said the hardline official was responsible for the bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters.

They also raised a mock toast to celebrate Li’s death and urged the central government to bring other officials responsible for the massacre to justice.

The protesters threw a banner, with Li’s picture and some pork bones attached to it, into the liaison office's grounds, saying the bones were a symbol of the June 4 victims.
