LGBT rally: Cops commandeer activists’ vans
A group of activists who marked LGBT Pride Month with a rally in Manila on Friday was arrested by the police in a way rarely seen in crowd-control operations.
The protesters proceeded from Morayta to Mendiola, the rally site outside Malacañang, in two vans. Upon their arrest, some of them were ordered to return to their vehicles. Police officers then forced their drivers out and took over the vans, the protesters told the Inquirer.
