Some 2,000 mourners and at least that many police officers turned out Saturday for a heavily restricted funeral service for Zhao Ziyang, as authorities took steps to ensure that the final commemoration of Mr. Zhao, the former leader, would not touch off anti-government protests.

A reminder that Tiananmen is not forgotten, but China is not free.
