Police Continue Clearing Activist-Occupied Forest in Freiburg

The forest, slated for redevelopment into a residential area, has been occupied by activists opposing its removal.

  • Police have resumed efforts to clear activists from a forest in the western part of Freiburg, Germany.
  • The forest is designated for a future residential development, prompting opposition from environmental activists who occupied the area.
  • Authorities, including police and firefighters, are on-site but have not disclosed how many activists remain or how long the operation will take.
  • The city of Freiburg had previously restricted access to the area through an official order to facilitate redevelopment plans.
  • The clearance operation began over a week ago, with several activists detained during earlier phases of the effort.
