Germany: Thousands join Hambach Forest protest walk
5
23.09.2018
Thousands of people took part in protests in Hambach Forest on Sunday, as part of ongoing resistance to the planned expansion of a coal mine.
Organisers claimed some 7,000 protesters were in attendance although this number has not yet been verified by the police. Protesters were kept contained to a single area to prevent them joining the long-term activists who police have been trying to evict over the past few weeks.
Efforts to clear the remaining barricades and protest camps were suspended last week following the death of freelance journalist Steffen Meyn, who died after falling from a bridge connecting two treehouses on Wednesday.
