• Cem Ince of The Left, present as a parliamentary observer, was briefly detained, alleged he was struck by officers, and was released after identification; a complaint was filed.
• Authorities cited assaults on officers, resistance, an attempted freeing of detainees, and prohibited Middle East–related slogans during the march.
• Linke leader Ines Schwerdtner denounced what she called increased police violence against party MPs, while police union spokesman Benjamin Jendro defended the operation as exemplary.
• The protest targeted Rheinmetall’s retooled Humboldthain site for artillery components, which the company says will not handle explosive substances, as a separate glue action blocked an access road at Renk’s Augsburg plant.
