German police violently assaulted female pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Berlin during a march commemorating International Women’s Day, Al Jazeera reports.
At least 28 people were arrested and one police officer was injured in the melee, according to police.
The incident is part of a broader pattern of crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests across the country. Authorities have banned Arabic chants and speeches at demonstrations, citing “public security”, and have frequently resorted to violence to disperse protests.
