Disgraceful! I have no idea why the cops acted this way. The only thing I can think of is that there is some law or by - law that prohibits protests outside the UN, but I'm speculating there.
At least the cameraman was not stopped from filming, although there were efforts to keep him away from the demo. Neither will the protesters disappear, as I fear they may well do in China. Also those arrested and charged will get a fair hearing in a court, and will have an appointed lawyer to represent them. I doubt protesters in China would get the same rights!
Of course it is all on Utube, so can be seen worldwide. Ooops! No it can't, I just remembered, Utube is banned in China!
