Students and Residents discovered Troops dressed in Plainclothes Trying To Smuggle Weapons Into The City
Time: Saturday Jun 3, 1989
Place: Beijing, China
Details: On the morning of 3 June, students and residents discovered troops dressed in plainclothes trying to smuggle weapons into the city. The students seized and handed the weapons to Beijing Police. The students protested outside the Xinhua Gate of the Zhongnanhai leadership compound and the police fired tear gas. Unarmed troops emerged from the Great Hall of the People and were quickly met with crowds of protesters. Several protesters tried to injure the troops as they collided outside the Great Hall of the People, forcing soldiers to retreat, but only for a short while.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
