Several hundred demonstrators march through Berlin in solidarity with RAF members who have gone into hiding or are imprisoned. Interior Minister Faeser finds clear words.
Faeser went on to say that the weapons seized in Berlin show that the current police measures pose considerable risks. She thanked the investigators for using maximum pressure against the other RAF terrorists who were still wanted. “No one should feel safe underground.” It is also important to examine carefully which supporters made it possible for the RAF terrorists to go into hiding for so long and are still making it possible today. “The left-wing extremist scene remains very much in the focus of the security authorities.”
Several hundred participants in a demonstration in solidarity with underground or imprisoned RAF members marched through Berlin in the evening. They gathered in the Kreuzberg district in the late afternoon and marched, among other places, through Sebastianstrasse, where the former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette (65) had lived under an assumed name before her arrest at the end of February.
Police officers accompanied the demonstrators from the left-wing scene, who regularly chanted something like “We are not all – the prisoners are missing” and carried banners with slogans such as “Freedom for Daniela – the system is terrorist” or “Where are the raids against the right?” . There were no violent incidents.
