Beijing. China on Sunday released from prison a leader of the 1989 anti-government movement at the end of a six-year sentence, but the dissident said he remained under effective house arrest.

Liu Gang, 35, who was N. 3 on a wanted list of activists before his arrest, said by telephone from northeastern Jilin Province that he had been released Sunday and had arrived an hour later at his father's house in Liaoyuan.

The authorities have placed strict conditions on his movements and communications, he said.

The former physics student was the last of the leaders of the student movement to remain in prison for his role in the bloody Tiananmen protests that were suppressed on June 4, 1989.
