Police fired teargas to disperse the crowd who were protesting, a witness, who did not want to give his name for security reasons, said. No further details of the arrests were immediately available. Police dismissed reports of the arrests, and said they had CCTV footage of his supporters deflating tyres of police vehicles, inciting violence and obstructing officers on duty.

In November, at least 54 people died after protests erupted following Wine’s brief detention over alleged violation of social-distancing measures.
