Tom Wainwright, from Garden Court chambers, who represented one of the Colston defendants, said the impact of the decision was unclear “because it’s difficult to tell what a court will decide is significant and insignificant damage and what they will interpret as violent in the context of damage to property”. Arriving at the court on the morning of 25 January, Richardson, a gardener, wrote “Support the Colston 4” outside its entrance in water-soluble chalk. When Martin, an artist and writer, arrived shortly after she wrote: “Let justice prevail.” Both were arrested for criminal damage and breach of Covid regulations as they complied with instructions to leave the area. Policing minister Kit Malthouse flatly described the toppling of the statue as "a crime" and warned prosecutions may follow.

Brown, asked if he thought organizers of the protest knew a group was planning to incite violence there, said, “God, I hope not, but it sure looks like it.” Former capital of the Southern Song Dynasty from the year 1127 to 1279, the city of Hangzhou is home to a number of historically important structures, all set in an area of great natural beauty. The hills surrounding Hangzhou and its famous West Lake are scattered with temples, the most renowned of which is Lingyin Temple, literally Temple of the Soul's Retreat.The thugs and criminals responsible are already being brought to justice," she told MPs, after earlier tweeting that "justice will follow". But Taylore Norwood, an organizer with GoodKids MadCity, said the anti-violence group was not involved in violent acts against police and didn’t know of the planned violence ahead of time. When protest leaders attempted to storm the Radio Budapest building to broadcast a list of their liberation demands, they were stopped by the Soviet Secret Police. The crowd grew unruly, the police opened fire, and all hell broke loose. Central Budapest was a war zone for the months to come, the streets lined with burning cars and police barricades. From the world-famous Terracotta Army to its centuries-old city wall, the city of Xi’an is full of ancient wonders, and its renowned Da Ci’en Temple is no exception. Home to the iconic, seven-storey Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Da Ci’en Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary that boasts a history spanning over a millennium and remarkable architecture, all set within a busy urban neighborhood. Protests must be done safely and peacefully but I think it’s really important that leaders right now recognise that they’ve got a responsibility to try and heal divisions, to try and unite communities.

We’ve seen those protests, which have been overwhelmingly peaceful, occur because people are hurting. They are hurting deeply and we haven’t seen that reflected from the UK’s leader.

Fittingly, Qufu is home to the country’s largest and most important Confucian temple, which was established in honor of the famous sage not long after his death. Over the centuries, numerous emperors and other important figures have made pilgrimages to Qufu to venerate and offer sacrifices in honor of Confucius. Rebuilt and renovated extensively throughout its long history, today’s Temple of Confucius is among the largest of all temple complexes in China, consisting of nearly 500 different rooms spread across an area of 16,000 square meters. This temple, immense in both size and significance, is unmissable for those interested in the Confucian tradition.

That statue was controversial and offensive to many and it’s been a matter of debate in that city for many decades and that debate should have been settled through democratic means, with the mayor, the council taking a decision on what to do. Lightfoot, speaking during a groundbreaking for a Far South Side restaurant, said the video showed “vigilantes, people who came for a fight.” It was the cathartic removal of a memorial to an oppressor of people and an abuser of power who had too long loomed over the people of Bristol,” she said. “The fact that it is gone is still right for Bristol.” The Soviet police attempted to hide their weapons throughout the city in places like empty ambulances, but the protesters found and stole them. As the revolution was winding down, Péter Mansfeld and four other teenage freedom fighters continued hoarding guns and grenades in the event the rebels needed them again. They broke into the Minister of the Interior’s villa to steal ammunitions, and narrowly escaped a plainclothes police officer on their way out. In 1958 they stole a car and kidnapped a police officer on another weapons mission. The youngest of the revolutionaries grew frightened as the authorities circled closer on the five boys, and told his parents, who, as loyal communists, turned them in immediately.China has a history that spans thousands of years, and there is perhaps no better testament to its long and varied past than its temples. These sacred and peaceful havens are the perfect display of China’s diverse religious influences—Buddhist, Confucianist, Taoist, and sometimes a combination of all three!—as well as its distinct architectural style.

She added: “The positive impact of the toppling – for both Bristol and the anti-racism movement as a whole – can never be undone, and this judgment cannot overturn the decision made by a jury of our peers.” While most visitors are attracted by its white-sand beaches and turquoise waters that seem to have come straight out of the Caribbean, the island province of Hainan is also home to a vibrant culture. One of the best illustrations of that is its magnificent Nanshan Temple, the centerpiece of which is a bronze statue of Guan Yin Buddha that stands at 108 meters in height, outsizing even the Statue of Liberty! CBS Chicago journalist Marissa Parra said an officer used a baton to swat her phoneout of her hand while she was reporting on the scene. WBEZ journalist Linda Lutton said her two daughters were pepper sprayedand had their bike, roller skates and bags taken by officers.A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said its officers honestly believed that all four had been committing an offence under coronavirus regulations. “However, we now accept we misinterpreted the regulations and that the arrests and the issuing of FPNs were unlawful,” the force said. I don’t really intervene in criminal matters like that – that’s not for me to go and be a cheerleader to the police in any criminal investigations.” We had no idea that was happening. People walked right into a red action and were totally unprepared for the violence that occurred,” Norwood said. “If police officers are being taught to deescalate situations, why didn’t it happen Friday? We expect the city and the mayor to value people over property.”
