    Hey Saleh,

    we had this in another post and why are you still spreading misinformation about this? The university itself posted about this on the same day as the attack. Without any involvement of an parliamentary inquiry.

    https://www.fu-berlin.de/presse/informationen/fup/2024/fup_24_206-versuchte-besetzung/index.html

    At least 40 people attempted to occupy the Presidential Building of Freie Universität Berlin on Thursday, October 17th at lunchtime. The attempted occupation was immediately broken up by the police. The people were extremely violent and physically attacked and verbally threatened employees. People were injured. Rooms were vandalized and slogans and Hamas triangles were sprayed on the walls of the historic building. Vandalism caused considerable damage to property throughout the building.

    Employees reported that they were asked to leave their offices in English that was difficult to understand, under threat of violence. People who did not comply were physically attacked. Attackers tried to force open office doors that employees had locked from the inside for their own protection. The FU employees found it particularly worrying that they were unable to assess the intentions of the attackers who had entered the building.

    So yeah, fuck those protestors.

      So the criminal president of FU Ziegler made allegations, which were happily taken on by the racist Berlin CDU, who like Ziegler, have a strong ideological conviction in embracing support for Israeli crimes and suppressing peaceful protests with violence, which then leads to escalation.

      Neither of them is a trustworthy source on this. Until there is a proper court proceeding, where proper evidence is provided and evaluated by a court of law, these claims should not be assumed to be true or false. This is specifically because the people making these claims are evidently not neutral and created the conditions for a counter-escalation to happen, so it is reasonable to assume this counter-escalation and the narrative about it to be part of their strategy too.

      Property damage is evident, but a very different category than people being threatened with weapons or dangerous tools. For this claim there needs to be proper court proceedings.

        I’m not sure where to continue here. Why is the president “criminal”? Was he convicted in a court of law?

        And I’m not really sure what your general point is. Yes, the state wants to get rid of those protesters and now we are getting a court decision on the issue. So where exactly is the issue?
