I'd argue at this point most people who wanted to hear about the protests has, and knows what it is about. Or anyone picking up that there's protests from this piece would find the relevant info very fast. It's actually how I heard about it first, with random comments on international board that pushed me to try to find better sources. That's not a bad path to news either, as you get to it with curiosity and interest already setup. That aside, I think this piece would still be interesting for people knowing nothing about the reason of the protest, just like how we can read memories about wars we don't really know about but still get the 'how it felt from the inside'.
