BERLIN (AP) Thousands turned out in Berlin on Sunday to protest the German governments anti-coronavirus measures despite a ban on the gatherings, leading to clashes with police and the detention of some 600 protesters.
Local authorities had banned several different protests this weekend, including one from the Stuttgart-based Querdenker movement, but protesters in Berlin defied the ban.
Berlins police department deployed more than 2,000 officers to try and disperse the protests, but it said officers who sought to redirect protesters or disband larger groups were harassed and attacked.
They tried to break through the police cordon and pull out our colleagues, Berlin police said, adding that officers had to use irritants and batons.
