placard

Several carried placards against the war in Gaza.

The image depicted a protester lying on the ground holding a blood-spattered placard while a judge, in a wig and gown, looms over him, wielding a gavel.

The protests turned violent as thousands – many identifying themselves as Gen Z on placards and banners – took to the streets of Kathmandu on Monday.

Many held placards with slogans including "enough is enough" and "end to corruption".

Kim Johnson, the Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside, described the arrests as "absurd" and "authoritarian", targeting people for "peacefully holding a placard".
