In an unexpected turn of events, an unauthorised gathering related to the Middle East conflict took place at Rosenthaler Platz and Hackescher Market on a recent evening. Approximately 100 individuals were involved in the demonstration, which began around 6 PM and moved between the two locations.

The gathering, however, was marked by a series of incidents that led to the intervention of deployment forces. Shouts of illegal and prohibited slogans from the crowd resulted in around 80 people being stopped, contained, and checked. This escalated the situation, leading to incidents of physical attacks, insults, and resistance against law enforcement officers.

Assault and resistance against officers were also reported, with some individuals exhibiting verbal aggression towards the deployment forces. As a result, a total of 94 people, including 70 women and 24 men, were subject to freedom-restraining measures.

The deployment forces initiated 96 criminal investigations in response to the events. These investigations include suspected use of unconstitutional and terrorist organization symbols, assault and resistance against law enforcement officers, insults, assault and battery, and suspected illegal residence.

Despite efforts to identify a gathering leader at Rosenthaler Platz, none was found. The situation required the mobilization of approximately 200 deployment forces to manage the unruly crowd.

It's important to note that the search results do not provide information about the organization or person who initiated the protests. All individuals were later released after their identities were confirmed.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining peace and order during public gatherings, especially when emotions run high. The authorities are urging everyone to express their opinions in a peaceful and respectful manner.
