Disrupted protests in Frankfurt: Large meetings for the anniversary

This day was held in Frankfurt am Main an important series of events that marked the first anniversary of terrorist attacks against Israel. As part of these memorial events, a pro-Palestinian elevator also took place, in which up to 1,400 people took part. The events attracted a considerable number of counter -demonstrators who were represented with around 100 people.

The police were on site and ensured a continuous separation between the two groups, which ensured the fundamental right to freedom of assembly for everyone involved. When the Pro-Palestinian assembly moved through the city center, the counter-demonstrators sometimes expressed its protest. This contributed to the fact that the assemblies were largely disruptive, apart from some incidents that are relevant under criminal law.

incidents and measures by the police

In the course of the Pro-Palestinian elevator, police members noticed that the assembly flags and showed transparent that may violate the law. These calls and symbols could justify an initial suspicion for punishable acts, which is why the police intervened and took appropriate measures. In particular, the focus is on violations of the paragraphs §86a StGB, §111 StGB and §130 StGB, which are now being examined in detail.

An incident that caused a sensation was the act of a participant in the counter -demonstration. The latter threw an egg in the direction of the pro-Palestinian participant and was then arrested. Criminal proceedings were initiated against him. There was also another incident in which a plastic bag filled with urine was thrown near the pro-Palestinian elevator. The police have not yet been able to determine the identity of the thrower, the reasons for this action are also the subject of ongoing investigations.

Despite the incidents mentioned, all other events on this day have taken place smoothly. The police emphasize the importance of the measure to ensure safe and peaceful demonstration culture. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.presseportal.de .
