“Activists accused of raiding Israeli weapons factory face trial in Germany”

The activists are being prosecuted under Section 129 – a “criminal organisation” statute with roots in the political upheaval of the Prussian era. Typically reserved for “terrorists” and organised crime groups, this legal statute has recently been applied to political and climate activists. The prosecution contends that the activists are members of “Palestine Action Germany”, a classification that enables the harsh legal conditions they now face.

“Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black”

In a significant victory for the government, jurors convicted eight defendants on material support for terrorism charges for wearing black clothes to the late-night demonstration. That use of “black bloc” clothing was an antifa tactic that assisted in the shooting of the officer, prosecutors said during their closing arguments.
