Million Mask March 2016 across the globe
Anonymous activists take to the streets around the world for Million Mask March, an annual event held on November 5.
The Anonymous movement has gathered every November 5 since 2012, to coincide with the annual British tradition of Bonfire Night, which began when a group of dissident Catholic plotters tried to blow up the British parliament in 1605.
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. Happy 5th of November. #MillionMaskMarchpic.twitter.com/5bKhZRTNgN
