Berlin police say they arrested 57 people during a pro-Palestinian demonstration on the fringes of the city’s yearly Pride march yesterday, adding that 17 police officers sustained injuries.
According to police, about 10,000 demonstrators participated in the rally yesterday in support of Palestinians, but authorities moved in to disperse the crowd as organizers struggled to restore order.
The arrests were related to public order disturbances, including resisting police and throwing bottles or physical altercation, but also the use of antisemitic slogans as well as “symbols of anti-constitutional and terrorist organizations,” police write on social media.
The “Internationalist Queer Pride for Liberation” movement, which on its website says there is “no queer liberation without anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, and anti-Zionist struggle,” organized the rally.
The pro-Palestinian demonstration took place as Berlin’s annual Pride parade was being held in another city district, where 64 arrests were also made, for insults, assault and also the alleged use of symbols deemed linked to “terrorist organizations.”
