freedom not fear demonstration – police violence in Berlin /Germany

There was a brutal act of violence by police against a peaceful demonstrant at a huge Pirate Party demonstration in Berlin yesterday.

The Pirate Party and other political groups were demonstrating against censorship and control by the current conservative government under Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Her state secretaries Wolfgang Schäuble and Ursula von der Leyen are trying to use terrorism as a reason to get control over telecommunication and internet in Germany, filtering our communication data.

As many people oppose this control, the pirate party has good chances to be elected to parliament on September 27th, when federal elections in Germany are coming up. The conservative parties and government have started to get nervous.

But see and judge youself what happened yesterday at the Berlin demonstration and whether or not it is worth trying to achieve political change over here in Germany.

    It was not a Pirate Party event, though the Pirates called for the demonstration too and there were lots of Pirates. But it was a demonstration coming from civil organisations with support from many different parties, organisations and idividuals. See http://freiheitstattangst.de/
