Climate activists in police custody
The self-disclosures are intended to expedite the full investigation. Two weeks ago, apartments in several states were searched by climate activists.

Protest planned for Christmas service

The protest action was therefore known in advance, after which the service was recorded the day before. On Saturday, however, eight climate activists gathered in front of the closed church. Police gave two “potential troublemakers” a place notice.
