Today, we went over to see what was going on at the supposed airport blockades at Rostock-Laage airport and found only a small number of protesters at each of the four rally points.

At the most southern point, there was a foodkitchen and a soundsystem and about 50 protesters or so, with buses already leaving and/or arriving. As there were four meeting points, activists seemed to decide to walk around the huge area to one after the other rally points, so total numbers could not be estimated. All four rallies seemed to be dissolved and dismantled by about 1.30pm, though they were allowed to stay untill 6pm legally.
We just managed to visit another rally point, the most eastern one, where an info point and a soundsystem ws located as well.
There was a lot of police, and even some army, even on the small roads.
