Thousands rallied in the Czech capital of Prague on Sunday to protest the government's restrictive measures to tackle a record surge of coronavirus infections.
The protesters included members and supporters of a number of fringe political parties and groups that failed to win any parliamentary seats in October's election.

At Prague's Letna Park, the protesters chanted "Freedom!" and "We've had enough!" while displaying banners that discouraged getting vaccinated such as ones reading "My body my choice."
Police didn't intervene.
