DAnish police arrested eight people at an anti-blockade demonstration in Copenhagen late on Saturday.
Organized by a group calling itself “Men in Black,” the demonstration of around 1,200 people in the Danish capital was the first since the government announced last week that it was extending many anti-coronavirus restrictions.
Police said the demonstration was largely peaceful, but eight people were arrested for allegedly using fireworks and loud behavior.
Initially, around 600 people participated in the rally, but the crowd had grown to around 1,200 by the end of the night in the square in front of Copenhagen’s city hall, police said.
Denmark, which has been under a partial lockdown since late December, announced last Wednesday that it would ease some restrictions.
While Danes will be able to revisit some shops and participate in small-scale sports and community activities starting tomorrow, many restrictions have been extended until April 5, including the closure of bars, restaurants and most of the institutions of secondary and higher education.
