Versammlungsfreiheit+++ despite harassment begins the climate
camp on Friday on Wednesday 21 August the Verwaltungsgericht
Köln ruled that no tents and no kitchen must be built on the
beginning on the Friday air camp in Manheim (Rheinland), where
several hundred participants are expected. The requirements of
Kerpen district police were confirming that make impossible
the implementation of the climate camp in regulated railways.
For years, cuts in the freedom of Assembly by authorities,
attempts to restrict camps as a particularly effective form of
protest so massively that they in fact not take place are
piling up in Germany. Most recently this happened in Germany
when the refugee protests at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin,
the Blockupy protests in Frankfurt and the resistance against
Castor transport.</span><br

de facto ban of the climate camp has far-reaching consequences
for the fundamental right to freedom of Assembly, which goes

stresses Melanie Schubert performed the preparatory group of
the camps. "This harassment serve to prevent legitimate and
successful protest to anywhere in Germany and to criminalize.
If this approach makes school, political camps in the future
would be nearly impossible.We hope now to wide solidarity,
including from liberal citizens who are concerned about the
future of the freedom of Assembly."</span><br

lignite in the Rhenish Brown coal district by the RWE group.
For weeks, the organizers are in negotiations with the city of
Kerpen and the district police. The climate camp should as
held in the years before on an orchards in Manheim. For the
