Police charge protesters in Turin during anti-rearmament march

Police charged protesters in Turin's Piazza Castello during an anti-rearmament demonstration, using shields and batons to block them from advancing toward Via Po. Officers had directed the crowd to an alternate route through the Royal Gardens toward the city's north. The intervention occurred after authorities prevented participants from continuing along their intended path, prompting physical pushback from law enforcement. The demonstration was part of broader protests against military rearmament policies. Similar clashes between police and protesters were reported in other Italian cities, including Florence, Bologna, and Rome, as well as a student march in Milan.
