There were large protests in France against plans to repress publication of photos of thugs, including when the thugs are committing crimes.

I am disappointed that they also condemned the public health precautions against Covid-19. We can live with that, temporarily. What is crucial is to make sure they all go away once Covid-19 is not much of a threat.

The UK arrested a press photographer for having earlier taken photos at a protest. The thugs held him for seven hours and filed charges against him.

The protest was at a sort of immigration prison where there is a Covid-19 outbreak. The protesters condemned the government for operating the prison.

The next day, there was a fire at that prison, apparently set by someone. It was a very bad thing to set a fire, and could conceivably have injured or even killed people.

I would not assume that the people who set the fire shared the views of the people who protested.
