Duesseldorf (Germany), Sep 20 (AP) Hundreds of people demonstrated in downtown Duesseldorf Sunday against government coronavirus restrictions and in support of a host of other causes.
People waved signs with slogans like “end to panic, corona pandemic is a lie” and “corona rebels” as songs decrying coronavirus restrictions were played. They chanted “free Julian Assange” along with one speaker, and formed a “W” -- symbolising “we all” -- with their hands, which they raised over their heads as the theme to Chariots of Fire played.
