German police shut down a pro-Palestine protest in Berlin on Saturday and arrested several demonstrators citing a ban on the use of Arabic at the gathering.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the square near the Wittenbergplatz metro station in support of Palestine, under the slogan “Stop the aggression in the West Bank—Do not supply weapons to Israel,” the Anadolu news agency reported.
Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and signs reading “Hands off the West Bank,” “Stop arming Israel,” “Gaza is not for sale,” “Freedom for Palestine,” and “Palestinian children deserve to grow up.”
During the rally, some protesters delivered speeches in Arabic and chanted anti-Israel and anti-US slogans to the tune of Arabic music, the report said.
