Large group of riot police were deployed, and conducted mass stop and search in the district. Police officers announced that all citizens stopped had their identity marked, and must leave the area --otherwise they would be arrested.

2140 | Reporter claimed that there were several civilians in wheelchairs who were also still being kept for stop and search.

Editor Note: Some citizens who were frisked are residents nearby. How could they leave the area when they live in the area? Do they go sleep at the cemetery? How do children become "suspected criminals" as well?
