Their names are listed on the obelisk, largely illegible today, and bodies were interred in the open space in front of memorial:

There seems to be a bit of confusion about this monument. As noted above, Marty et al make it clear it was erected for the victims of 1832, yet more recent sources, particularly in Valverde and Hughes "Le Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise" and in Philippe Landru's exhaustive website, the monument supposedly honors those killed in the 1848 uprising. And Bertrand Beyern writes that the monument honors those killed in 1832, 1834, 1835 and 1848.
A very small but nonetheless perplexing puzzle. . .

They were the victims of 5 and 6 June 1832, april 1834, july 1835
Not of June 1848. See on the Web the article of Civardi and Jérôme France
Thanks for the comment. However, I refer you to both Bertrand Beyern" Guide des Tombes d'homes celebres and Valverde and Hughes Le cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise -- both list 1848 as an additional year for the memorial. I agree, though sources do seem to conflict on this point.
