'Peacefully against Genocide': Greta Thunberg joins protest against Rheinmetall

Activists, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, staged a protest outside a Rheinmetall office near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, adhering themselves to the ground. The group 'Peacefully against Genocide' organized the demonstration, which involved over 30 participants according to the group, and around 40 according to police. The action began around 8:00 AM, with approximately 70 police officers present. Police spokesperson confirmed that protesters were being detached from the ground, their identities recorded, and dispersal orders issued. As of 9:30 AM, the protest remained peaceful. The demonstration specifically targets Rheinmetall's arms manufacturing, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and the use of German weapons in war zones. This action follows several similar protests by the group at Rheinmetall locations in recent days, with further demonstrations planned. The protest highlights ongoing concerns regarding the arms industry's role in international conflicts.
