Hundreds of thousands of people from across the world joined May Day rallies on May 1 to protest against the erosion of workers’ rights, TeleSUR English reported that day.
More than 80 countries took part in the rallies, held in honour of International Workers’ Day, demanding an end to systemic injustice and authoritarian rule.
In many places, heavily-armed riot police were called in to control the mass protests, which united demonstrators from Pakistan to Chile in shared indignation.
