Violence at German anti-lockdown rally
By EUobserver
Violence broke out in the central German city of Kassel on Saturday at an anti-lockdown protest by 20,000 people, Reuters reports. "Bottles were thrown and there were attempts to break through barriers," police said on Twitter, after using water cannon and pepper spray. Crowds carried placards saying "No compulsory vaccination" and "Democracy will not tolerate censorship" and refused to wear masks or social-distance.
