Berlin police stop university protest by Palestine supporters
BERLIN (AA) – A peaceful demonstration by students at Berlin’s Free University to draw attention to Israeli attacks in Gaza took a dramatic turn as police took action against the protesters in response to a request from the school administration.
In the auditorium of the Rostlaube building, a significant number of students gathered to express condemnation of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza, and the administration’s “one-sided stance on the violence in Palestine.”
Students prominently displayed images of child victims of the war on Gaza, alongside Palestinian flags and banners bearing messages such as “Stop the genocide in Gaza” and “Over 8,000 children have been killed in Gaza, where is the condemnation?”
Despite warnings from the administration to vacate the premises, the students remained seated, steadfast in their commitment to carry out the peaceful protest.
The demonstration included presentations addressing the situation in Palestine, Gaza and broader developments in the Middle East.
Chants echoing through the auditorium included: “Freedom for Palestine” and “Germany finances, Israel bombs.”
After the protest that lasted several hours, police removed students from the auditorium upon the request from the administration.
