A young woman with a crucifix cries as police use a water cannon to disperse protesters demonstrating against measures imposed by the German government to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, on November 18, 2020 close to the Reichstag building housing the Bundestag (lower house of parliament) in Berlin. - After repeated warnings for the crowd to put on face coverings went unheeded, police said they would take action to clear the protest and “detain violators”. Around 5,000 activists massed at the Brandenburg Gate, after the German government banned rallies outside parliament because of fears of violence. The demonstration mirrored similar protests seen across Europe against restrictions opponents see as a violation of their civil rights despite government warnings about the need to stop the spread of infections.
