Victims
The official figures say that during this third Mineriad, seven people were killed and hundreds were wounded. However, some NGOs claim that up to 188 people died. The Opposition newspaper România Liberă alleged that over 128 unidentified bodies were buried in a common grave in Străuleşti II cemetery, near Bucharest. The records of the Neurosurgery department of the Municipal Hospital from Bucharest showed that hundreds of severely wounded people were treated in those days, of which 60 died in the next months.
