Five members of Letzte Generation, Germany’s equivalent to Just Stop Oil, have been charged with “forming a criminal organisation”, a move civil rights campaigners say could in effect criminalise future support for the climate campaign.
Mirjam Herrmann, 27, Henning Jeschke, 22, Edmund Schulz, 60, Lukas Popp, 25, and Jakob Beyer, 30, were charged under section 129 of the German criminal code. It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group.
According to prosecutors in the state of Brandenburg, the charges relate to more than a dozen “attacks” against oil refineries, the Berlin-Brandenburg airport and the Museum Barberini ... The charges, brought by the public prosecutor’s office in the town of Neuruppin, come after a two-year investigation into the activities of Letzte Generation, involving dawn raids on supporters’ homes, wiretaps on their phones and even seizing the organisation’s website.
According to Amnesty International Germany, a guilty verdict for even one of the defendants could turn Letzte Generation into a proscribed organisation by criminalising any activity that promotes it or its purposes, whether financially, logistically, politically, legally or in the media.

I’m guessing that people are getting fed up with vandalism and blocking roads
breaking the law makes one criminals... that’s the law of the nature of crime
BUT, the "charges relate to more than a dozen 'attacks' against oil refineries, the Berlin-Brandenburg airport and the Museum Barberini"
That reminds me of the US MSM in 2020 saying there were "mostly peaceful protests" as our cities were burning down.
Bader Meinhof is getting the band back together.
” It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group.”
I thought words were violence?
That name is a blast from the past.
[say could in effect criminalise future support for the climate campaign.]
Excellent. Al Gore’s money-making scheme hardest hit.
All the climate changers are criminal for not telling the truth. They never mention all of the massive volcanoes that have erupted since Jan 15 2022 pumping over 100 billion tons of ash and vapors into the upper atmosphere. This volcanic trash is effecting our wx now and for years to come. When Yellowstone erupts we will have our 3 days of darkness possible devastation of America. No one can prepare for the event to happen.
Thanks Cronos.
