UK police have bizarrely referred to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “victim” after a prominent Chinese activist and survivor of the Tiananmen Square massacre was arrested for protesting peacefully against the Chinese President during his official visit to the UK.

The bail conditions of Dr Shao Jiang state that he must not be within 100 mts of President Xi Jinping:

“to prevent further offences and to prevent further harrassment (sic) of the victim”

Amnesty International has already accused the UK police of a “heavy handed” response to the peaceful protests after officers also raided Dr Jiang’s home and took away computer equipment.

According to Amnesty, in China, activists continue to “risk harassment, arbitrary detention, imprisonment, torture and other ill-treatment” for their legitimate protests and human rights work.

Looks like not just in China.
