  • Well the Link conveniently leaves out that the reason for their removal proceedings wasn’t just for protesting, but for participating in violently occupying a university building, while threatening the staff with axes and metal bars, and doing property damages up to 100.000€, which is a pretty heavy crime in Germany (Landesfriedensbruch)

    This is not a trivial matter, but the accounts of what happened differ widely. According to an answer from the Berlin Senate to a minor question from November 2024, around 40 people are said to have stormed the building. “The squatters attempted to drag employees out of their offices. The attackers were also masked and armed with axes, saws, crowbars and clubs,” it says. The LKA’s descriptions in the expulsion notices read less brutal, but still threatening. They speak of 20 people who had gained access to the building, graffitied the walls and destroyed the technical equipment. They are said to have carried crowbars or “cow feet” with them. They are said to have tried to break down a door to a room in which a very frightened FU employee had barricaded himself. Axes, saws and clubs are not mentioned. Following the occupation, arrests were made. Ten suspects - including the four activists - are said to have tried to prevent this.
