So it seems that being hit by a policeman is news - to the surprise of many activists I know who have been hit a few times. "No one was impressed before," said one. "Police have been hitting protesters as long as I can remember, why the interest now?" The reason for the interest...

Editors Blog: Riz Ahmed
