Thousands expected to protest against virus restrictions in Germany
Several thousand people are expected to demonstrate in Germany on Saturday once more against coronavirus-related restrictions, in protests marked by conspiracy theories and right-wing slogans.
Protest organizers announced 5,000 participants in the western city of Stuttgart. Opponents of government lockdowns are also expected to take to the streets in Munich, Berlin, Dortmund and other German cities.
Last weekend, thousands demonstrated against the restrictions, often disregarding current social distancing and hygiene rules.

As in previous protests, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and right-wing populists were among them, and in one protest, journalists were attacked.
Police said they would step up their presence and tighten security measures.
