Wolfgang Metzeler-Kick was imprisoned for 15 days in November because he stuck himself to the Stachus in Munich and blocked traffic. When he left the prison in Stadelheim, the 48-year-old climate activist from the group "Last Generation" even gave the Bavarian officials in writing that he was going to Lützerath in North Rhine-Westphalia.Since early Monday morning, Metzeler-Kick's left hand has been stuck with superglue on the access road in front of the Erkelenz town of Lützerath, about 40 kilometers from...
