Overview
- Police said seven protesters glued themselves to the ground and a fence at Rheinmetall’s Berlin site, and a technical operations unit was removing them with up to 30 officers on scene.
- The group Peacefully against Genocide said its supporters blocked the plant’s access road to protest the war in the Middle East and sharply criticized Israel.
- Officers previously opened investigations after a late-March action in which four activists climbed the site’s roof and poured red paint on the facade.
- The group claims the factory will begin making large-caliber ammunition from mid-year and that Rheinmetall supplies Israel, assertions not independently verified in this report.
- Organizers said more protests are planned against the Berlin facility, signaling a sustained campaign that has drawn repeated police responses.
