Meanwhile, the BBC said on Sunday that one of its journalists covering the protests was assaulted and detained by the Chinse police in Shanghai. He was later released after several hours.

"The BBC is extremely concerned about the treatment of our journalist Ed Lawrence, who was arrested and handcuffed while covering the protests in Shanghai," a spokesperson for the British public service broadcaster said in a statement.
