Polícia e câmaras de vigilância assustam os protestos na China
November 29, 2022 - Foi relatada uma forte presença policial em várias cidades da China, quando as autoridades se apressam a reprimir os protestos contra as restrições da Covid que surgiram durante o fim de semana.
Some gatherings were quelled or failed to materialise. Reports have emerged of people being questioned and their phones searched, according to the BBC.
In Beijing, several protests were planned for Monday but did not take place, as police patrols and a network of surveillance cameras appeared to deter fresh gatherings, AFP said.
China has the world’s biggest CCTV monitoring network, deploying more than half of all surveillance cameras in use globally, according to security research firm, Comparitech.
