I'm not at all against protests but a method that could put residents at risk seems ill advised. I personally don't think that one has to necessarily live in a certain place in order to criticize this practice. By the logic of some in this thread you wouldn't be able to criticize another country for any domestic practice such as severe human right violations because you don't live there and don't understand.
Nobody was put at risk. and before, any of us criticizes any one else in another country, we need to have our facts straight. There was a lot of criticism expressed by people who had no idea..and still don't.... what was going on.
