London: At least 33 people were arrested during anti-lockdown protests in London on Saturday as scores of people gathered at Hyde Park and marched along central streets toward government buildings on Whitehall road and UK parliament.
Under the country's COVID-19 rules, protesting is not a "reasonable excuse" for leaving home, Sputnik reported. "As of 18:45 hours, 33 people have been arrested by officers policing the gatherings in central London. Most of the arrests have been for breaching COVID regulations," the Metropolitan Police tweeted.
The London police said they are continuing to engage with people attending the ongoing protests in Central London.
