Berlin police arrested two women during a pro-Palestine demonstration on Saturday, as video footage circulated on social media showed officers taking the protesters into custody. The rally, which drew a significant police presence, saw participants waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The arrests occurred as the demonstrators gathered in the German capital, part of a wave of protests across Europe against Israel's military actions in Gaza. Authorities have not released details on the charges faced by the detainees.
The protest comes amid heightened tensions following the escalation of the US-Iran conflict and ongoing ceasefire violations in Gaza. Berlin has seen multiple pro-Palestine rallies in recent weeks, often met with strict policing.
