China has erupted in protest after an apartment fire in the city of Urumqi killed 10 people and injured 9 others.

But that hasn’t stopped the Chinese government from trying, using the harshest methods possible. Free the People creative director Sam Martin explains why we should never sacrifice liberty for safety in this episode of Freedom Over Fear.
