Actually, Simon Lachner (25), activist of the “last generation”, would like to block the road in Regensburg (D) in Bavaria together with other climate stickers. But he never got around to it. Even before he could participate in the protest on Monday, he was – preventively – arrested by the detective.
The officials were not squeamish, as evidenced by the recordings of the arrest: the two dragged the climate chaos across the floor of his own home. “I’m being carried out of here like I’m a criminal who needs to be arrested,” Lachner said in the video shared by the “Last Generation.”
The climate activist is now free again. He is now responding to the arrest on Twitter. “At noon today a storm was raging over our house and then suddenly two agents from the Regensburg detective department showed up on my doorstep,” says Lachner. After a short consultation about where the protest would take place, which he had previously announced in a press release, he was actually arrested.
“They carried me out, put me in their car and took me away.” As a result, he would have had to stay in a cell for several hours. “And that’s because others are holding a rally to criticize our federal government’s climate policies.”
A spokesman for the Regensburg police confirmed a corresponding arrest to the news portal “T-Online”. Accordingly, Lachner was taken into preventive custody. The reason: there was coercion in the room and the activists had previously announced that they would “commit a crime”.
Still, his arrest seems to have had something good for the climate stickers: “In retrospect, I heard that this protest became all the bigger because people heard that someone had been arrested at home,” says Lachner.
People even came from Nuremberg and Munich. His friends also showed solidarity with him: “Today my housemate put himself out on the street for the first time.”
His arrest seems to have done anything but deter climate chaos. Giving up is not an option for Lachner: “We have to make this protest bigger and louder.”
