“Daniel Behrens, member of Die Linke (photo right) was arrested at 11 in connection with the Linksunten ban, according to his lawyer. The politician is allegedly one of several people identified as the author of calls for criminal actions. He will be presented to the committing magistrate early tomorrow morning.”

Daniel Behrens of Die Linke was allegedly arrested in connection to the Linksunten Indymedia ban

The news was spread over the Indymedia portal (link), but in the meantime is only visible for registered users of the platform. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to receive confirmation of the circumstances from other sources.

Deutschlandfunk [public radio, translator] reports that two of the Indymedia operators were among the “journalists” who had their accreditation withdrawn at the G20 summit.

  1. It seems odd that Merkel’s Germany continues to tolerate endless “immigrant” atrocities yet, in whatever manner, finally has managed to decide how Antifa is a bunch of naughty brats.

    Something’s rotten in Berlin!

    … and has been for many years now.

    • Like I said yesterday this is likely a purge of political enemies on the left. Think Night of the Long Knives.

      I know our German friends want it to be politicians finally waking up and it might but it is more likely a purge. If it is a purge we will know soon.

  2. Nothing but a pawn-sacrifice . Expect the german authorities to use this as an “excuse” for coming down much harder on critical voices from the right (after all they have now shown their sincerest intentions in their effort to stop leftist extremism ….)
