Australia: new anti-containment rally in Melbourne

A new demonstration was held in Melbourne against the containment measures imposed since early August in the state of Victoria.

Police used pepper spray to prevent unmasked protesters from advancing into the city center. 200 people were arrested and six policemen injured in clashes.

Australia’s second city, Melbourne is experiencing its sixth lockdown since the start of the pandemic. The state of Victoria on Saturday recorded more than 500 new cases of Covid-19 in the space of 24 hours.
