(DPA) Police in the German capital Berlin raided the homes of five pro-Palestinian activists on Monday morning, including a man believed to have thrown a microphone stand toward a local politician.
Police and public prosecutors in Berlin said the five men are suspected of having committed criminal offences “through allegedly pro-Palestinian motivated activities.”
The men, aged between 18 and 40, are suspected of breach of the peace, incitement of the people and using symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
No arrests have been made. Around 125 police officers were involved in the raids on flats in the districts of Friedrichshain, Britz, Gropiusstadt, Tegel and Schöneberg in Berlin.
The 18-year-old man allegedly threw a microphone stand at Berlin’s culture minister, Joe Chialo, during an opening of a local arts centre in mid-September.
