Protests against the introduction of Covid-19 passports and continued lockdown restrictions were seen in Australia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK.
Opposition to lockdowns and Covid-19 vaccine passports continues to grow, as several Australian cities remain in tight lockdown, and most European countries introduce vaccine passports for travel, with some even using them for access to indoor venues and dining.
In what are increasingly being described by activists as discriminatory, coercive laws, the World Freedom Alliance called for a global day of protests against the measures.
Demonstrators in London sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as they gathered to oppose a plan to introduce vaccine passports in many venues, including football stadiums, nightclubs and cinemas.
