Communications from Sir Alan Donald, British Ambassador to China at the time, described injured students begging for their lives before being bayoneted by soldiers, and the remains of protesters being incinerated and then flushed into drains, the Independent reported Saturday. Donald’s source for the communication was a “good friend†serving on China’s State Council who he said had “previously proved reliable and was careful to separate fact from speculation and rumour.â€
“The 27 Army APCs [armoured personnel carriers] opened fire on the crowd before running over them. APCs ran over troops and civilians at 65kph,†Donald wrote. “Students understood they were given one hour to leave square, but after five minutes APCs attacked.â€
