Overview

  • Early on July 15 activists used an unlicensed drone to attach a 1.5×20 meter ‘Free Maja’ banner to the Molecule Men sculpture in Treptow
  • Berliner Polizei detained a 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman at the scene and charged them under the Air Traffic Act
  • Later the same day 14 protesters briefly occupied the ZDF Hauptstadtstudio foyer with another release banner before leaving peacefully
  • The demonstrations follow Maja T.’s end to a more than five-week hunger strike in Budapest demanding better conditions and repatriation to Germany
  • Germany’s Foreign Office has dispatched a delegation to Budapest to secure medical care guarantees or the transfer of the non-binary activist
