according to a report by www.tagesspiegel.de , several thousand participants gathered for a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin-Kreuzberg on Saturday. No major incidents were reported by the evening, but there were occasional arrests for posters with punishable content. The personal details were found to a woman who had been the demonstration as folder and threatened a press representative. The police counted around 2,600 people before the move began. Speeches were chanted and the freedom for Palestine was challenged on signs and banners. There were also statements that could be relevant under criminal law. The Berlin public prosecutor is currently examining the consequences of the ban on certain slogans by the Federal Ministry of the Interior for Berlin. In at least one case, officers grabbed a participant from the demo and led him away. The demonstration should run from Oranienplatz to the air bridge in Tempelhof.

I have been observing an increased activity in relation to the Middle East conflict in the city for some time. This is reflected in the numerous pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrations that take place in various parts of Berlin. It is important that public order is maintained, and the police must ensure that statements or actions relevant to criminal law are treated appropriately.

The tensions in the Middle East have an impact on the local population in Berlin, especially those who have a connection to the parties to the conflict or are interested in the situation in the Middle East. It is important that freedom of expression is respected, but it is also ensured that these leads to punishable acts or the escalation of conflicts. The security and protection of all citizens in Berlin must be guaranteed, regardless of their political conviction or nationality.
