Berlin Brutality

Berlin, 22nd June 2024

"Stop the Genocide in Gaza" demonstration in solidarity with Palestine.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Berlin to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and call for a boycott of the German government over its military and economic support for Israel.

Hundreds of police in riot gear, armed with pepper spray, guns, and video cameras to identify the demonstrates, violently assaulted, beat, and detained dozens of protesters, including minors.

The new police tactics include isolating protesters one by one, dragging them out of the demonstration, and detaining them in private building entrances along the street. These areas are out of sight, preventing journalists and photographers from documenting the abuse suffered by these individuals.
