Attorneys who have volunteered to help represent people who participated in the nationwide protests that began in late November in China say that police have begun persecuting them, raiding their offices and limiting their social media access, reports revealed on Tuesday.
China has experienced regular protests against the Communist Party — and, in particular, against its “zero-Covid” lockdown and quarantine policy, for much of the past two years with increasing frequency. On the weekend of November 26, however, protests occurred simultaneously in several of China’s largest cities, an uncommon sight precedented only by the pro-democracy protests of the late 1980s that culminated in the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu, among other major cities, saw throngs of hundreds, potentially thousands, of protesters take the streets demanding an end to mass house arrest and quarantine protocols. Many began protesting by holding up blank pieces of paper representing what the government allowed them to say in public and used as a form of protest against the communist regime as a whole, not just its Chinese coronavirus policy.
The protests lasted through much of last week before the Communist Party suddenly announced that it had discovered the omicron variant of Chinese coronavirus caused much weaker symptoms than previous variants, a conclusion that most public health experts had arrived at a year ago. As a result, the Communist Party then claimed it was now reasonable to allow some individuals who test positive for coronavirus to quarantine at home, rather than be forced into unsanitary quarantine camps, and to do away with some mandatory testing provisions.
