Anti-Vaccine Activists Protest In Magdeburg

MAGDEBURG, GERMANY-JANUARY 08: Thousands of Anti Corona restriction protesters gathered at the Alter Markt for the 'MegaDemo' organized by the Freie Sachsen (Free Saxons) movement on January 8, 2022 in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The protesters decided to move out from the designated protest area in the Alter Markt and begin an impromptu and unauthorized 'stroll' around the city center. The demonstration is part of an ongoing campaign of civil disobedience by anti-vaccine and lock down protesters with in Germany. The stronghold for the movement against Corona restrictions is primarily within the former states of the DDR (Deutsch Democratic Republic). This civil disobedience involves coordinated 'Stadtspaziergang' (city walks) by citizens across numerous cities and towns. Making it particularly difficult for the Police to deal with.(Photo by Craig Stennett/Getty Images)
