Four masked men in hazmat suits, carrying placards showing their faces and names, charged for allegedly violating the country’s strict pandemic-related interdictions, were paraded Tuesday, December 28, 2021 through the streets of 靖西 (Jìngxī), 广西壮族自治区 (Guǎngxī Zhuàng Autonomous Region) in a “Cultural Revolution style” public shaming exercise. The images and video of the event drew harsh criticism online against the government’s heavy hand, including in state-owned media. Screenshot courtesy of BBC News. |
