Now that Berlin police have banned a pro-Palestinian demonstration, the organisers have accused the authorities of racism. “The demonstration for tomorrow was banned by the police on racist grounds,” wrote the organiser “Palestine Campaign” on the internet platform Instagram.
Although they were “full of rage against the racist German state”, they had to ask participants not to come to the venue. At the same time, the alliance announced “upcoming steps” to “bring Palestine to the streets in Berlin”.
The initiative had been calling for a protest with 250 registered participants since Monday. The police announced on Tuesday evening that the event would be banned as it posed a threat to public safety. Meanwhile, on Instagram, users are calling for people to circumvent the ban on demonstrations. “How about driving your car through Neukölln? They can’t ban that – music, flags, motorcades.”
