Pro‑Palestinian Activists Briefly Occupy ZDF’s Berlin Studio Before Police Escort

Trespass investigations are underway, with the group planning a follow‑up protest outside the studio.

Overview

  • Berlin police accompanied twelve activists out of ZDF’s Hauptstadtstudio after a short foyer occupation on Friday morning.
  • The group entered via an open entrance at the Unter den Linden site and initially ignored requests to leave.
  • ZDF offered a dialogue that the activists declined before officers moved in to end the occupation.
  • Protesters launched a helium‑balloon‑lifted speaker that played recorded child cries, which could not be switched off at first.
  • Authorities are pursuing Hausfriedensbruch (trespass) cases, and a street assembly of roughly a dozen participants formed outside afterward.
