While I salute these people dedicating time and energy (and unfiltered breathing), I am less proud of the attitude of people in the western world as regards to the right to protest in their own countries. Right now it is dangerous in france to protest against the government, with new information coming out often of how the justice system is being used to intimidate. In some states in the US they're seriously thinking of passing laws where peaceful protesters could be jailed for participating at a protest that turns violent. In spain they're basically jailing pursuing singers for criticism of the former king. (edit: hasel is being fined 10000€ for lèse-majesté and 2 years in prison for comments unrelated). I could go on.

I just want to remind everyone that we should apply the same human rights standards everywhere, especially in our own backyards where we're the ones that are supposed to do the cleaning up.

Edit: I'm answer here to some questions in the replies. I don't want to derail the discussion about the Russian protests which are very important, so I won't talk about it any more. For France, the police violence has gotten so bad that they passed a law making it illegal to publish images of even violent police officers. Riot police has been illegally masking the id numbers on their jackets for years now with no consequences. Here's a quick investigation of the latest use of police to create chaos in a peaceful protest and arrest innocents (they were release without charges, but the minister still declared they were violent). If you want more details, r/france will give them to you, both sides of the spectrum.
