What did the government do in the tlatelolco massacre?

In the Tlatelolco Massacre of October 2, 1968, the Mexican government violently suppressed a student-led protest demanding greater political freedoms and social reforms. Soldiers and police opened fire on thousands of demonstrators in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, although the exact number remains disputed. The government attempted to downplay the incident, censoring media coverage and framing the protesters as a threat to national security. In the aftermath, the government maintained a narrative of justification for the crackdown, leading to widespread criticism and calls for accountability.
