Civilians also joined in, combating freezing temperatures and raising their spirits with bright light sticks.
Other civilians sent aid in the form of heated buses or by opening the doors of nearby facilities.
While representatives of the KCTU argued,“We already received permission to lead this march.
Do not get in our way.
Get out of the way, police!
You are committing obstruction of justice.”
After a tense standoff, it’s been confirmed that the police forcibly arrested 2 representatives of the KCTU.
Why are all of the policemen here not heading to the presidential residence, arresting the criminal?"
Soon, news of the arrest of the protesting union members spread online at a rapid pace.
The KCTU urged other civilians to join them and express their solidarity.
