Tens of thousands of people protest the London Lockdown. Many arrests
Tens of thousands of people gathered in London to protest the continuation of the lockdown and the new police regulations, especially after the murder of Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old girl, who disappeared on March 3 and whose body was found in Kent, whose murder a police officer was accused of. All while discussing a new law on police powers.
The participation was wide, very wide, considering that all this was forbidden:
Tens of thousands of ordinary people carrying out their democratic right to freedom of expression, association and the right to live freely and unimpeded by the state.
This movement will continue to grow.

There were clashes with the police in certain areas, but not with the main group of demonstrators, also because the number of people was so large that they did not recommend direct intervention:
People are really tired in the UK also because, after an efficient and persistent vaccination campaign, they don't understand why they should continue with a lockdown that seems less and less logical.
These are the largest such manifestations seen so far.
