Germany: Activists to protest in Berlin, Oct. 3
Political activists to rally across Berlin, Germany, from 12:30 Oct. 3. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Political activists affiliated with several organizations advocating for peace plan to rally across Berlin from 12:30 Oct. 3. The purpose of the gatherings is to demand German policymakers stop weapon deliveries to Israel and Ukraine and demand peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. Participants will rally at three gathering points across Berlin: Breitscheidplatz, Rathenower Street, and Gleisdreieck. From the designated rally points, activists will march from 12:30 and arrive at Grosser Stern, the endpoint of the marches. In Grosser Stern, activists will continue to demonstrate through the afternoon of Oct. 3. Organizers encourage participants to reach the rally point at Breitscheidplatz, which will likely be the largest gathering among the three. Several thousand people are likely to participate.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the rallies. Road travel and transport disruptions are likely across Berlin through Oct. 3. Occasional confrontations between law enforcement officers and participants might occur during the event.
Avoid all demonstrations and march routes as a standard precaution and to mitigate road travel and transport delays. Plan for extra travel time across central Berlin through Oct. 3. Heed the instructions of officials. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any confrontation.
