The 30,000 figure represents the upper range of estimates, not a confirmed exact death toll. Euronews reported a wide range from 3,100 to over 30,000 casualties. Verification was difficult due to internet shutdowns and state efforts to conceal killings through disappeared bodies and mass burials. The figure cited comes from testimony by medics, morgue and graveyard staff, not official government or UN statistics.
Sources were published on January 27, 2026, which is before the March 11, 2026 session date, so the MEP could have known this data.
