Amnesty demands investigation into German police brutality against anti-genocide protesters – SKWAWKBOX


Scenes of appalling police violence against peace protesters have proliferated as German state cements collusion in Gaza genocide

Amnesty International has demanded an investigation into the brutal repression by German police of pro-Palestine protesters. The German state, which is fundamentally Zionist and has just passed, in the middle of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a law requiring new citizens to pledge their support for Israel, has used police violence repeatedly against supporters of Palestinian human rights and freedom protesting against Israel’s slaughter of around 200,000 civilians in Gaza. Even calling for a ceasefire has been met with brutality.

One of many examples of police brutality against peaceful protesters in Germany

Amnesty’s Berlin office has put out a statement:

German police continuously respond with violent repression of activists, raiding organizing spaces, amongst other repressive tactics, systematically criminalizing dissent to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

We are concerned by videos & reports of excessive use of force by police against protestors at a Palestine solidarity demonstration in Berlin on Saturday.

We demand independent investigations into the police officers involved.
