Video: “Reckless action” – activist raises allegations against the police

STORY: Even on the third day of the clearance of the hamlet of Lützerath, there are still people on the site who want to defend the village against the excavators and jackhammers. So does a climate activist who calls herself Saha and raises allegations against the emergency services. “I don’t think the situation is changing very much. Of course it’s hard to see how the trees are being torn down more and more. It’s especially hard to see that the police are sometimes very ruthless. We’ve had several situations this morning. It a tree was cut in which there was a truss, there was a person in that truss. This is life-threatening and we do not understand how the police can be so careless with human lives that are at stake. Especially given the fact that that we are committed to the future of all of us.” On Thursday it became known that under the area to be cleared there is not only the lignite to be excavated, but also a kind of tunnel in which other people are said to be staying. This is likely to complicate the work of the emergency services. Rain and wind affect the clearing and demolition of the tree houses. The police did not want to endanger anyone, a spokesman said on Thursday.
