Demonstrators attempting to install a wooden cross at a WWII memorial say they were brutally attacked by officers
Police in Berlin forcibly broke up a demonstration by Polish activists seeking to place a wooden cross at a memorial to their country’s victims of Nazi Germany on Tuesday, according to organizers and footage circulating online.
The organizers, the Polish Border Defense Movement, have argued that the memorial, currently marked by a large commemorative boulder near the Reichstag, does not adequately reflect the scale of Poland’s suffering during World War II and lacks both a cross and explicit national symbols.
Footage from the scene appeared to show police officers pushing and shoving participants as they attempted to approach the memorial. Several activists were seen being physically restrained, while video also showed officers struggling with demonstrators over the wooden cross. Six people were temporarily detained during the operation, according to police.
