BBC reporter ‘beaten and kicked’ by Chinese police while covering protests
NY Post ^ | 11/28/2022 | Lee Brown

Chinese police kicked and beat a BBC journalist while detaining him for covering the biggest uprising there since the Tiananmen Square protests more than three decades ago.

The British national broadcaster said it was “extremely concerned about the treatment” of Ed Lawrence, whose violent arrest in Shanghai was captured in disturbing videos shared online.

“During his arrest, he was beaten and kicked by the police,” the BBC said of Lawrence, adding he was then “held for several hours before being released.”

Lawrence himself noted a Swiss journalist was briefly detained and “at least one local national was arrested after trying to stop the police from beating me.”

Cops later confiscated phones and cameras and made people delete images of the protests, the reporter said, recounting disturbing scenes that included a seemingly unconscious man being dragged away.

Biden and Schwab LOVE an authoritarian government, like all my in-laws.

Hopefully the Chinese people will finally rise up and kill the three million commies who control China.

Reporting the truth in China is similar to a woman dressing provocatively in the mid East.
Good luck.

If that were to really happen, you can bet we’ll see more barricades up in DC.

Meanwhile, Biden’s government is pouring our money and munitions into corrupt Ukraine against aggressive Russia, while ignoring the build up of China against, apparently, the entire Far East.

Dear BBC Reporter,

Welcome to a country with no civil rights. See what it is like? No fun, is it?
