Berlin Activists Protest Military Policies at Iconic Sculpture

Youth group stages demonstration against German missile plans and fighter jet sales by occupying the 'Molecule Man' statue.

Members of the 'Internationalistische Jugendkommunen' draped a large banner on the Molecule Man sculpture in Berlin's Spree River.
The protest targeted Germany's plans to station US mid-range missiles and sell Eurofighter jets to Turkey.
Activists condemned the German government's military stance, particularly its confrontational approach toward Russia.
Police reported that the activists voluntarily left the sculpture by midday after being asked to do so.
The demonstration highlighted concerns about militarization and its impact on youth, with calls for peace in conflict zones like Kurdistan and Ukraine.
