Dipke Detained by Police After Arguing Over Custody, Court Had Barred Party Disturbances

Dipke earlier defended his party's protests, arguing that peaceful demonstrations are a democratic right. He accused the government of curbing citizens' freedoms through shutdowns, internet suspensions, and movement restrictions that disrupt business. As police took him into custody, he protested, asking what law he had broken while stating he was alone. A court had earlier directed the CJP to avoid causing any public disturbance for one year.
