What happened in Urumqi, combined with the promis of easing of #zerocovid measures, followed by new lockdowns… it sparked something. This is students protesting in #Nanjing
And this is not a protest but a gathering to mourn, in Shanghai. Police tells people to go home and watch the #WorldCup, says someone who’s there. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This is now on Wulumuqi (=Urumqi) lu in #Shanghai. People holding up white sheets of paper. ‘We don’t need to write anything on it. It is a symbol of the revolution of the people’, someone says. (Don’t manage to send videos.)
‘We want freedom!’
First it was only a few hundred people. But they seem to be coming from far outside the city centre. More than a thousand now, i’m estimating.
