Violent Clashes as Hundreds Try to Storm Serbian Parliament

4 年前
Police fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters who tried to storm the Serbian parliament in Belgrade after four nights of demonstrations. Protesters, who are defying a ban on mass gatherings, rallied against President Aleksandar Vucic and his government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. As the country faces a new wave of infections, the Serbian government is moving to re-impose lockdown restrictions. Several arrests have been made following the night of unrest, with many reporters injured mainly in attacks by the demonstrators.
