Description
A burning effigy is engulfed in flames in the foreground of a street. A group of people, including demonstrators and media personnel with cameras and microphones, stands in the background near a white motorcycle. Many individuals appear to be protesting, some clapping or raising their arms. The gathering takes place in a shaded, tree-lined area under daylight, likely during a demonstration related to environmental or public health concerns.
