Conflicts at Pro-Palestinian Assembly in Berlin-Neukölln: Böller ignited and arrested-a management report.
After a pro-Palestinian meeting, a conflict of young people with the police occurred on Saturday evening in Neukölln. On the Sonnenallee, corner of Reuterstrasse, very loud firecrackers were lit. Small groups came together again and again and shouted slogans like "Free Palestine". The police repeatedly stepped in and temporarily set some people. A police spokesman spoke of a "cat-and-mouse game" with groups of 10 to 25 people. But the police are on site with strong forces. The situation is under control.
The police had banned a demonstration planned for Saturday afternoon in Kreuzberg and all replacement events by October 20. A meeting at the Brandenburg Gate with around 50 participants was prevented on Saturday afternoon. As a police spokesman said, people had apparently appeared for a pro-Palestinian demonstration that had been postponed by the organizer by a week. According to their own statements, the police had around 260 forces in the city.
Since the massive attack by the terrorist group Hamas from the Gaza Strip on Israel on Saturday last week, propalestinian meetings have repeatedly occurred in Berlin. There were several demonstration bans due to feared anti -Semitic statements. Nevertheless, Pro-Palestinian groups had already gathered on Sonnenallee on Friday evening. There were smaller tumults.
In their balance sheet on the events of Friday, the police said that up to 150 people had come together several times at the Sonnenallee/Reuterstrasse intersection. A total of 24 people were temporarily taken into custody. There were criminal charges for breach of the peace, assault, resistance to enforcement officers, disruption of public peace and other offenses.
In addition, the police reported a number of smearings with a political connection to the Middle East conflict from the past few days. According to a report from www.tagesspiegel.de.
