Activists of the pro-Palestinian organization Peacefully Against Genocide seized the roof of the Rheinmetall defense plant in Berlin during rallies. This was reported on March 25 by RBB24.

According to the protesters, the purpose of the action is to peacefully protest against "the fact that Berlin produces weapons that kill people in Palestine."

"According to the police, these people are in a building on Scheringstrasse. They have doused the facade with red paint and are waving the Palestinian flag," the article says.

In addition, law enforcement officers clarified that about 20 representatives of the Berlin police are at the site of the rally. The protesters are planned to be removed from the roof of the defense enterprise after the arrival of the mountain rescue team.

It is noted that this plant until recently produced only auto parts. However, earlier this year Rheinmetall announced that it plans to retrain the company for the production of artillery ammunition.

Earlier, on March 20, in the Czech city of Pardubice, 120 km from Prague, unknown persons set fire to the warehouse of the defense company LPP Holding. A group of anonymous activists claimed to have burned down "a key manufacturing facility for weapons used in the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Later, Polish Interior Minister Lubomir Metnar said that the arson of the plant could be recognized as a terrorist act. The Reuters news agency reported on March 24 that Czech law enforcement agencies had reported on the arrest of three people suspected of setting fire to a defense industry enterprise in Pardubice.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
