After the Neuruppin public prosecutor's office carried out raids against members of the "Last Generation" in several federal states, protests broke out in Berlin. At a demonstration against police violence, dozens of people express their anger at the actions of the authorities.
After a raid on climate demonstrators, dozens of people in Berlin showed solidarity with the members of the "Last Generation" protest group. A demonstration against police violence that had been registered at Kottbuser Tor was used in the evening. According to the observations of a dpa reporter, around 100 demonstrators from the left-wing autonomous scene, dressed in black and some masked, took part. They carried a large banner that read, "Police Everywhere. Justice Nowhere."
According to the dpa reporter, around 50 people from the camp of the climate demonstrators took part, many wearing orange vests. A spokesman for the climate protesters thanked them for organizing the demonstration. At the same time he called for non-violence. Numerous police officers were on site.
According to the police, the registered demonstration referred to December 13, when left-wing groups drew attention to police violence under the code 1312 ACAB ("All cops are bastards"). Police and public prosecutors had searched eleven apartments and rooms belonging to members of the "Last Generation" in at least six federal states in the early morning.
According to the public prosecutor's office in Neuruppin, Brandenburg, the background to this is several attacks by climate activists on the PCK Schwedt refinery since April. Among other things, the oil supply was interrupted. In some cases it was just an attempt. Klement explained that the suspicion of forming a criminal organization could arise if the accused repeatedly arranged to commit crimes.
The group "Last Generation" had spoken of an "attempt at intimidation" in a tweet. "We stand by what we do with face and name - if there is a desire for information, there is no need for a house search," the group said.
