34 Years Ago Today – The Tiananmen Square Massacre
On June 4, 1989, hundreds of innocent civilians were shot dead by the Chinese army during a bloody military operation to crush a democratic uprising in Peking’s (Beijing) Tiananmen Square.
Tanks rumbled through the Beijing streets late on June 3rd as the army moved into the square from several directions.
They opened fire randomly on the unarmed protesters.
The injured were rushed to hospital on bicycle rickshaws by frantic residents shocked by the army’s sudden and extreme response to the peaceful mass protest. –BBC
