Thousands of people gathered to pay tribute to the victims of Tuesday’s deadly attacks in Brussels, Ruptly news agency reported, despite the police order, which banned gatherings in the Belgian capital due security concerns.

A group of far-right protesters were rallying under the banner of “March Against Fear,” and then converged with people paying tribute to the terror attacks victims, according to RT.
