    "The Chinese government also asserted that unarmed soldiers who had entered Tiananmen Square in the two days prior to June 4 were set on fire and lynched with their corpses hung from buses. Other soldiers were incinerated when army vehicles were torched with soldiers unable to evacuate and many others were badly beaten by violent mob attacks.

    These accounts were true and well documented."

    Thearticle doesn't state at all where these are "well documented", care to help?

      ONE PHOTOGRAPH was published in Granta which clearly showed two mutilated bodies. They were, however, those of two Chinese soldiers, hanging from a burnt-out bus in Tiananmen Square. These images were never seen in the mainstream Western media, which also maintained a silence concerning the actions depicted in them. Peter McKenna, Liverpool (p.mckenna@liverpool.ac.uk)

      I found a Granta article about Tiananmen, might not be the same one, but it's paywalled. it's been SEO'd away on google and after this digging I've seen too many gory photos for now. but, I'll take a crack at searching it in Chinese on Baidu on the next go round
