(BBC News) No one should be detained for peacefully protesting - UN
A UN spokesman has urged China not to detain people for taking part in peaceful protests, according to the AFP news agency.

It comes as Beijing attempts to curb nationwide demonstrations against the country's strict Covid measures.

"We call on the authorities to respond to protests in line with international human rights laws and standards," AFP cited UN Human Rights Office spokesman Jeremy Laurence as saying. "No one should be arbitrarily detained for peacefully expressing their opinions."
 
It's China though. You protest, you get your ass beat. It's almost what? December? Looks like we're on time for the seasons beatings.
