Overview
- Police said access to the Rheinmetall facility in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen is open after officers removed eight protesters from the Scheringstraße gate.
- The clearance followed a Thursday morning blockade that began around 6 a.m., with about 30 officers deployed to the site.
- Police reported that six of the eight had glued themselves to the ground next to a banner reading "No profit from genocide."
- The operation to free and remove the group took less than 20 minutes, and investigators opened trespassing cases against all eight.
- This was the third action at the location in recent weeks, following an April 10 glue-on protest and an earlier rooftop paint display linked to the Middle East conflict.
