Activist Ciprano Pique (archive) was arrested in Suriname last night. Various Surinamese media claim he violated lockdown rules. Presumably, he was transferred to the police academy, where he had to spend the night.

He said about it “We have to fight for our freedom. The lockdown is not paying off, the lockdown is destroying the economy, our way of life and our freedom. We will fight for our freedom.
