Police detain a person on Urumqi street, in downtown Shanghai, where demonstrators gathered over the weekend to protest against Covid-19 lockdowns and call for greater political freedoms. When asked why one of the people was taken away, a policeman told AFP "because he didn't obey our arrangements" and then referred the reporter to local police authorities. IMAGES
In downtown Shanghai, people gathered in the streets on Sunday night to protest against the country's zero-Covid policy. In China's biggest metropolis, police tried to move people away from the site of an earlier demonstration on Wulumuqi street, named after the Mandarin for Urumqi, the capital of northwestern Xinjiang region. A deadly fire there last week has become a catalyst for public anger. IMAGES
