In Shanghai, protesters gathered at Middle Urumqi Road at midnight with flowers, candles and signs reading 'Urumqi, November 24, those who died rest in peace,' according to a participant who would give only his family name, Zhao.

Yet the judges' strike is also contributing to overcrowding in the already cramped prisons, stretching detention facilities that have seen increasing numbers of escape attempts, a source at the Palace of Justice in the Beirut suburb of Baabda

It marks a sharp turn in public opinion. Early in the pandemic, China's approach to controlling the spread of Covid was praised by its own citizens - even as Beijing tried to dismiss widely held suspicions that the pandemic started after a leak at a Wuhan laboratory.



From his jail cell in the northern city of Tripoli, Daher sends daily messages to his lawyer asking him whether judges have ended what is already the longest strike for their profession in Lebanes
