Chinese police arrested three people who volunteer for an open-source website that collects and republishes news articles and social media posts that have been censored by the Chinese government. Many of the reports recently republished on Terminus2049 were articles critical of the government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak. The three Beijing-based volunteers were held under “residential surveillance” an at unknown location on suspicion of ‘picking quarrels and provoking trouble’. Terminus2049 was also blocked inside China.
