One of China's most wanted student is coming to U of T.

This Thursday at 7pm, Waer Kai Xi will tell Canadian students
what really happened at the Beijing massacre. And according to
SAC external commissioner Melissa Young, the 21 year-old is not
concerned about security. She said he has his own body gaurds,
and he felt they were enough.

"He wants to be able to hold his head high," she said. "He is
worried, but he's not paranoid."

But security will be tight in any case, so no one will be allowed
into Convocation Hall without valid student, or some sort of
university ID.

Young said it will be a great opportunity for U of T students.

"He's not focussing just on Chinese students," she said. "He's
focussing on how the struggle affects all students."
