If they acknowledge it was peaceful yesterday why are they back today throwing tear gas and shooting people with "less than lethals".

They did not post on their newsroom or anything yet as far as I could find, just their official social media accounts

Yes, there is no update on their website's newsroom press releases is what I am saying. Last one was posted online a day before they tweeted this one
