Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.
It was a big protest and China tanks needed to be sent in so I think 1000 is reasonable.
I believe I checked the numbers at the French page some time ago, and based on the diversity of reports and their background, I personally believed that it was around 500. I do get that people can estimate a bit more or a bit less though.
Last time I checked it wasn’t 1k+ and numbers were criticized but yea

Yup. I would say around 500-800 but sure. At least we have an order of magnitude.
Vibes based statistics
No. I looked at different testimonials and believe this estimation is safer and closer to a potential reality.
And those would be?

So Wikipedia is what convinced you?
Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia based on sources. All claims include a source.
What do you want more?
Those articles being on a controversial topic, have been moderated and are pretty well done in my opinion.
