I received an email today about a demonstration yesterday. In it, 16 people were arrested for protesting the leader of the country. Two of those arrested had bogus charges levied against them.
- A cleric was charged with “assaulting a police officer” because the officer claimed that the cleric touched him. In reality, the cleric was pushed to the ground from behind while holding up his hands and saying “I am not resisting.”
- A veteran was charged with resisting arrest after falling down while trying to get into the paddy wagon that would take him to jail.
All in all, 16 people were arrested for “civil disobedience”. Want to guess which country this was in? Click on the (more…) for the answer.
