These are the pictures of June 4th (The “Tian’an’men Square Massacre”) that you aren’t shown in the Western Press. All of these pictures were taken BEFORE the People’s Liberation Army cracked down on the violent rioters.
Picture 1 shows a burnt out and destroyed Type-86 infantry fighting vehicle. They entered the square unarmed to disperse the rioters. They were met with Molotov cocktails. 13 soldiers were burnt to death.

The other images show lynched PLA soldiers. A further 10 lynchings...
...Occurred on 03/06/1989, this was the final straw. After 23 PLA soldiers lay dead in Beijing; the order was given to ‘Disperse the remaining elements’ - this was done with only 289 deaths; deaths caused after violent rioters had taken from PLA weapons caches.
