Country-wide protests held in US, demanding tighter gun control laws

WASHINGTON:In the United States, country-wide protests were held demanding tighter gun control laws.

Hundreds of thousands of protestors took to streets in major US cities including capital Washington DC to participate in the "March For Our Lives" protest.

The protesters called on lawmakers and President Donald Trump to confront the issue in the wake of mass shooting at a High School in Florida in February in which 17 people lost their lives. APP/AFP
