3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The query's narrow focus on numbers alone misses several crucial aspects:

• Simply focusing on the numerical turnout doesn't capture the broader nationwide context of the protests ^{[4] [3]}
• Different media outlets used varying ways to describe the crowd size:
• Specific numbers: "over 10,000" ^[1]
• General terms: "tens of thousands" ^[2]
• Vague descriptions: "large turnouts" ^[4]
