Protest at Chinese embassy in Berlin

Around 300 people protested on Saturday on the Jannowitz Bridge in front of the Chinese Embassy in Berlin under the slogan “China’s white sheet for freedom.” On their placards, they demanded an end to the lockdowns but also freedom of speech and press, as well as the release of demonstrators detained in China. Some signs featured caricatures, including Xi Jinping as Pooh the Bear and “Xitler” with a Hitler mustache. The crowd – which also included Taiwanese, Hong Kongers, and Uyghurs – was flanked by two police buses.
