Germany: Extinction Rebellion activists to stage week-long protest in Berlin from October 5

Event

Extinction Rebellion activists are to stage a week-long protest in Berlin from Monday, October 5, for the protection of forested lands in Germany. Participants are expected to disrupt airport, motorway, and federal highway projects around the capital and elsewhere in the country and will attempt to block access to the Berlin Transport Ministry to demand the cessation of the clearing of the Dannenroeder forest to make way for a new highway.  

Associated business and transportation disruptions are to be anticipated in the vicinity of any protests, as well as a heightened security presence.

Advice

Those in Berlin are advised to monitor developments, avoid protests and large public gatherings as a precaution, and adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
