Moscow, Apr 25 (Sputnik) Eight police officers were injured during a mass demonstration in central London against the COVID-19 lockdown measures and vaccine passports, the Metropolitan Police said.
Tens of thousands of people without face masks on marched in central London to protest against the recent coronavirus-related measures taken by the authorities. Chanting "freedom" and holding placards reading "Medical apartheid is wrong," "Not to vaccine passports" and "This is Tyranny," the protesters took to the streets in open defiance of the coronavirus rules still in place and the Metropolitan Police advising people not to attend any large gathering.
