In Berlin, a 22-year-old activist climbed a 28-meter mast in front of the Reichstag with climbing equipment, dismantled the flag of the German state and threw it to the ground, displaying the Palestinian flag instead.
The pro-Palestinian organization Peacefully Against Genocide took responsibility for the incident, protesting the German government's military support for Israel.
The police quickly arrested three German citizens on the spot, including the climber and two of his accomplices, who filmed the action from below, and they are now being investigated for a criminal case as part of an article about disrespecting Germany's state symbols.
