A request by Belgium police for members of the public not to share information of anti-terrorism raids on social media, prompted an inventive response from Twitter users. As the Belgian capital remains in lockdown while raids continue, the hashtag #BrusselsLockdownbegan trending.
However, the images posted were not of the deserted city streets with police cordons, but of cats. The hilarious response demonstrated the good humour of the Belgium people even in times of crisis, as they endeavoured, in the most imaginative way possible, to support the police services.
The images of cute kittens countered the images of violence and gunman that usually accompany anti-terror raids. Commentators acknowledged the witty response. "#Catstorm on #BrusselsLockdown = the best of human nature responding to the worst of human nature. Hope all are safe," wrote one Twitter user poignantly.
