The Council of Europe records that four demonstrators were shot dead by security officers guarding the Prime Minister’s Office, with many others injured. Remembering this event requires holding both the protest’s party leadership and the state’s lethal force in view; subsequent demands for an impartial investigation made accountability part of the movement’s legacy.
