Pro-China protesters challenged by London cyclist;
two Tibetans and a Chinese activist arrested
President Xi Jinping continued to be dogged by peaceful protests on
the second day of his UK State Visit.
Tibet and human rights supporters met the Chinese leader as he travelled
around London, including at 10 Downing Street, Mansion House and Guildhall.
Two Tibetan women and a Chinese man - a former political prisoner and
Tiananmen Square survivor - were also arrested in the afternoon. The women had
attempted to display the Tibetan national flag
- banned in occupied Tibet - at Xi Jinping as he drove past.
"Do you think
the right to freedom of speech should be extended to everyone?"
Organised pro-China protests also continued to take
place, appearing to be orchestrated by the Chinese Embassy. At one point
a passing London cyclist spontaneously stopped to challenge the protesters, as
captured on video.
Because dear, we have something you Chinese elite clearly do not have –
A CONSCIENCE! Empathy! Sympathy, that kind of thing!
City cyclist takes on pro-China demonstrators:-
The passer-by also mentioned quite correctly that many in the UK are deeply
displeased with the red carpet welcome China's leader has received, with Britain accused of "sucking up" to China
rather than standing up for human rights.
Protests will continue tomorrow - please see the Facebook event page
for details and join us if you are able.
GOODBYE
