German solidarity demo was held outside NZ embassy, in commercial district of Berlin in support of NZ arrestees.

This afternoon, 19/10, a group of approximately 25-30 activists of many nations gathered together outside the New Zealand embassy in solidarity with the imprisoned Kiwi activists, demonstrating against these recent raids and accusations of terrorism. Leaflets were distributed, banners were displayed and information was read out via a megaphone. Passing members of the public were very receptive and aware of it's broader context within the fake "War on Terror".

This positive response continued for nearly an hour before the cops finally made an appearance. Most people were able to disperse safely, however up two may have been detained by police whilst leaving the area.

Those in attendance wish to send a strong message to those behind bars but also to the Government of New Zealand- we stand with these people and against the oppression of the indigenous movement.
