On Saturday, first major protest took place in Swedish against coronavirus restrictions. However, police take over the command and dispersed hundreds of people who had gathered in central Stockholm to protest coronavirus restrictions set by the Swedish government. Swedish authorities said the demonstration the first major protest against the country’s coronavirus restrictions was illegal as it was held without permission.
For your information let us share that video footage on Swedish media showed a sizable number without masks gathering in Medborgarplatsen square not far from the capital’s Old Town. Local media estimated 300 to 500 people attended. Swedish tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen reported that the demonstration was dispersed largely peacefully but six police officers were injured after scuffles broke out with some protesters who didn’t want to leave.
However, it is to be noted that When pandemic started, Sweden, unlike most other European countries, opted to keep its society largely open with few restrictions but the government has taken a substantially harder stance in the past few months. Sweden has seen over 13,000 deaths in the pandemic, while its Nordic neighbors Denmark, Norway and Finland, who chose to impose coronavirus restrictions much earlier, have a combined COVID-19 death toll of 3,777.
