Easter demo for Palestine

On 04 April at Mauer Park, join comrades from the Palestine Bloc Berlin to gather in peaceful resistance against the ongoing arms exports to Israel.

Alongside the demand to end military support, organizers highlight the growing repression of pro‑Palestinian voices in Germany, where demonstrations have been restricted and people are criminalised for expressing solidarity.
