The gathering at Amritsar (1919), the rallies in Soweto (1976) and the demonstrations in Tianamen Square (1989) directly resulted in (4) violence against the protesters. The Amritsar Massacre was when groups of nonviolent protesters gathered in the Jallianwala Bagh Garden and were fired upon by troops from the British Indian Army. The Soweto Uprising was a series of protests led by high school students who did not want to have the Afrikaans medium of instruction instilled in their schools, but this was met with huge violence and an extremely high number of casualties. The Tiananmen Square protests was when Chinese students protested because of China's corrupt political system and many protesters and civilians were killed.
