POLICE CORDON BLOCKING ACCESS TO RHEINMETALL FACILITY BERLIN, GERMANY - JUL. 14: German police detained several pro-Palestinian activists Tuesday, July 14, during a demonstration outside a facility owned by the defense manufacturing firm Rheinmetall. More than 30 activists associated with the group Peacefully Against Genocide gathered in the city's northern Wedding district, accusing the major defense contractor of supplying ammunition to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Tensions escalated when demonstrators attempted to block a public roadway by staging a sit-in. Police units intervened, using physical force to move the group from the street onto the sidewalk. Authorities maintained a substantial security presence at the site. Several protesters were handcuffed and detained while officers conducted identity checks. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was among a separate group of demonstrators holding a parallel protest on the opposite side of the street. Protesters chanted slogans demanding an immediate ceasefire and criticizing German arms manufacturing linked to exports. Rheinmetall’s Berlin facility, which was previously focused on automotive parts, has been increasingly repurposed since last summer to manufacture components for artillery ammunition. Critics say the shift makes the company — and by extension Germany — directly complicit in Israel’s military campaign, which has been widely condemned for its scale of civilian casualties and war crimes in Gaza. Protesters are demanding that Rheinmetall immediately halt all production linked to Israel and shut down the facility. The group has vowed to continue its actions against the company’s operations in Berlin.
