Protest Camp for Refugee Rights and Climate Justice Established at Berlin's Oranienplatz

Activists have set up tents at the historic site, with plans for a month-long demonstration following a court ruling allowing the camp to proceed.

The protest camp, organized under the slogan 'Stand united for refugee rights and climate justice,' aims to highlight issues such as deportations and climate-related displacement.
The Berlin Administrative Court permitted the camp to remain at Oranienplatz after initially being prohibited by police, though with restrictions on its size and placement to protect the green space.
The camp's location was chosen deliberately, referencing a similar refugee protest camp at Oranienplatz from 2012 to 2014 that fought against deportations and gained national attention.
Participants, primarily young left-wing activists, plan to host events including music sessions, film screenings, and discussions throughout March to build solidarity and raise awareness.
Police reported no incidents during the camp's setup or its first night, with approximately 60 people attending the opening rally and up to 150 participants expected overall.
