Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Guangzhou’s Yuexiu District to rally against strict COVID measures.
Footage filmed on Sunday features rally participants holding blank pieces of paper, chanting ‘Don’t watch, please join!’, ‘Rest in peace to the dead, long live the people!’, ‘Long live freedom!’
The protest erupted on Friday, November 25, in Urumqi after footage of a fire in a residential building that reportedly killed at least 10 people the day before led to accusations that a COVID lockdown was the reason for the accident.
