1989 Tiananmen Square protests - Police used batons to disperse about 200 Students
Time: Thursday Apr 20, 1989
Place: Zhongnanhai, Beijing, China
Details: On 20 April, most students had been persuaded to leave Xinhua Gate. To disperse about 200 students that remained, police used batons; minor clashes were reported. Many students felt abused by the police, and rumours about police brutality spread quickly. This incident angered students on campus, where those who were not politically active decided to join the protests. Also on this date, a group of workers calling themselves the Beijing Workers' Autonomous Federation issued two handbills challenging the central leadership.
