Police Arrest 16 People During London Anti-Lockdown Protest, Confirm 9 Officers Injured

MOSCOW, Sep 26 (Sputnik) Sixteen people were arrested during a mass demonstration on the Trafalgar Square in central London against the tightening of the coronavirus-related restrictions in the United Kingdom, the Metropolitan Police said on Saturday.
Thousands gathered on the Trafalgar Square since morning for a rally dubbed "We do not consent!" despite the police's earlier warning to respect the effective public assembly limits. Judging from the placards people brought, they were specifically dismayed by the 10 p.m. curfew for pubs and restaurants and the requirement to wear face masks in public.
"Sixteen people have been arrested today (Saturday, 26 September) during demonstrations in Trafalgar Square, which then moved towards Hyde Park," the police said.
