Tiananmen Square Massacre Photo - Censored in China
On April 14th 1989 Chinese students started a protest in Tiananmen Square. Tensions were high and western media had started to notice, so on June 4th the government declared martial law. The students refused to disperse, so the government sent in The People’s Liberation Army, who opened fire on unarmed student protesters. The Chinese government denied this had happened, but a journalist had managed to sneak the photo out undetected. Estimates range from several hundred to several thousand unarmed civilians being massacred that day. The photo above and the photo of "Tank Man" are both illegal and censored in China.
