Alarm as German climate activists charged with ‘forming a criminal organisation’

“This is the first time in German history that a climate protest group that uses measures of peaceful civil disobedience is charged as a criminal organisation."

“Paragraph 129 of the German criminal code is to combat organised crime. Its application to non-violent protest criminalises civic engagement and thus restricts democratic freedoms."

“This charge is especially dangerous for democracy and the right to peaceful protest because the charge turns the constitutional right of protest, freedom of speech and political assembly into a crime simply because some laws were broken in course of civil disobedient protest."
