Brickbat: Exporting Repression

|

Police in Manchester, England, have opened an investigation after men came out of the Chinese consulate in that city, dragged a protester onto consulate grounds and beat him. The man later told reporters the men attacked him after protesters tried to stop the men from tearing down anti-Chinese government signs they had put up outside the consulate. The Chinese government claims the man "illegally entered" the consulate.
