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 cases an editor has checked and published are counted. A case counts as executed only when independent sources report it. Each bar opens the people it counts.
