Statistics
Every figure here is worked out from the archive itself. Choose filters, then open any bar to see exactly the people it counts — or download them as CSV.
Three separate lists: someone executed is not counted among the people killed in the protests, and a prisoner is not counted in either. Tap a box to see its figures.
Only prisoners an editor has published are counted. Many more people were arrested than are listed here; the figures are a minimum. Each bar opens the people it counts.
