For several days, demonstrations have erupted in several countries to protest against health measures deemed too restrictive


For the second night in a row, the Netherlands was the scene of riots on Monday.

Opponents of the curfew imposed since last weekend clashed with the police, who used water cannons in Rotterdam, as well as in the small town of Geleen (South), near Maastricht.

More than 70 people have been arrested, according to Dutch public television.

The day before, similar riots had broken out in several towns, leading to at least 250 arrests.

In Tripoli, clashes pitted Lebanese security forces against young protesters opposed to health restrictions.

According to an AFP photographer present at the scene, young people threw stones at the security forces who used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.

The Lebanese Red Cross has reported more than 30 injured, six of whom were hospitalized.

Rallies also took place in Denmark and Spain on Saturday.

They were thousands in Madrid, protesting against the restrictive measures of the government and denouncing "the deception" of a virus which, according to some, "does not exist".

Many protesters also criticized the ongoing vaccination campaign as a method to end the epidemic.
