Police and protesters clash at Berlin rally in support of Palestine
A number of demonstrators clashed with police at a demonstration in support of Palestine in Berlin on Sunday, throwing stones and bottles at police.
Some demonstrators tried to break through a police line and set off fireworks.
Police told the rally in the Kreuzberg district that “public safety is at risk,” in an announcement by loudspeaker, saying criminal offences were being committed by people in the assembled crowd .
Some 3,500 people took part in the protest march held under the banner, “Demo against genocide in Gaza,” far more than the 1,000 initially registered.
