What is happening with the protests
New reports say that police have taken many people to jail during recent protests. This includes minors, who are children under the age of 18. Officials are also reaching out to people on social media to tell them to delete any pictures or words they posted about the demonstrations.
Why are people worried
- Many people feel that being arrested for protesting is not fair.
- Parents are worried about the children who were taken by police.
- Deleting posts online makes it hard for people to share their opinions.
What happens next
Lawyers and human rights groups are now looking into these reports. They want to know exactly how many people were held by police and if their rights were protected. It is expected that more questions will be asked about why the government is asking for social media posts to be removed.
