BBC journalist appears to be ‘kicked and beaten’ during arrest in Shanghai
Footage appears to show police beating a BBC journalist who was covering anti-lockdown protest in China on Sunday night, 27 November.
Edward Lawrence was arrested and handcuffed while covering demonstrations in Shanghai, and was beaten and kicked during his arrest, according to the broadcaster.
"We have had no official explanation or apology from the Chinese authorities, beyond a claim by the officials who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd," the BBC said.
