An anti-lockdown protest held in Melbourne on Saturday was one of the most violent the city has had in 20 years, Victoria’s top police officer says.
Police have swarmed on protesters gathering in Melbourne as anti-lockdown rallies reached its seventh day.
Hundreds of officers arrested a dozen demonstrators at the St Kilda foreshore on Saturday in a rally that peaked up to 2000 people and at least nine police officers being hospitalized.
Protesters gathered in the inner beachside suburb chanting slogans like “together, united, we’ll never be divided” and “we are not afraid”.
Indeed, true freedom fighters are not afraid. We all have to die one day.
