UK has no creditability whatsoever on such matter. We are talking about the brutal regime that made the claim that there were WMDs in Iraq, that regime then used such excuses to wage war of invasion on Iraq and caused up to 460,000 deaths in Iraq directly. Indirect deaths toll is much higher than that.

20 years after such crimes against humanity, UK refused to prosecute anyone on the top involved in it.

I'd trust a random Africa country much more than the one that openly waged war on foreign country to promote Opium trade.

The fact that you blindly trust such brutal regime tells a lot about your evil soul. shame on you!

I mean, if it's about trust... your only source so far has been "some dude on the internet" and Wikipedia (which is also "some dude on the internet" unless you click through to the sources).

If you just read the sources linked by the Wikipedia article that YOU posted you'll see that even though the estimates of the dead are ALL OVER the place they're pretty much universally very high, and it's almost universally agreed that at least some of them were due to students, military, and civilians being run over by armored vehicles. Whether those vehicles were literally tanks or other armored vehicles really isn't important. The important part is the brutal and painful death.

Some examples even you might trust:

The Chinese Red Cross reported 2,600 deaths the next day (they later retracted it - presumably under threat).

Amnesty international says it was between "several hundred" and a thousand deaths.

Student leaders at Peking university claimed it was between 2,000 and 3,000 before they were silenced.

The Tiannaman mothers claim to know of 300 directly.

The Swiss ambassador estimated 2,700 deaths after visiting the hospitals.
