Police Ban Walk Without Citing Legal BasisIn Aschersleben, it is still not possible to fully exercise the constitutionally guaranteed right to demonstrate. On Monday, November 11, 2024, despite adverse weather conditions, numerous people once again gathered in Aschersleben for the weekly Monday demonstration. The participants sent a clear message in support of their political cause and were backed by a spoken message from Colette Born-Kamm-Rink. The well-known activist was unable to attend in person due to health problems and current mobility restrictions but, as always, expressed solidarity with the demonstrators. However, a spontaneous continuation as a “walk” was prohibited by the police—without explanation and without providing any legal justification. Despite repeated requests, the incident commander refused to communicate and avoided dialogue with the participants by not showing up at the assembly site. Such behavior signals a disturbing disregard for civil rights and fundamental transparency obligations by the police. This attitude is particularly critical against the background of a regulation from the Salzland district, which until last week banned spontaneous demonstrations altogether. Although this restriction has now expired, the police in Aschersleben seem to cling to restrictive measures as if the ban were still in effect. The seemingly arbitrary decision to prevent the walk undermines trust in the police and raises the question of whether there was a deliberate attempt to stifle peaceful protest. The demonstrators are already expressing this suspicion openly. In protest against these measures, the demonstrators are now considering registering a walk every Monday for an entire year in advance to avoid further police restrictions. However, this contradicts the very spirit of the protesters—they do not want to ask permission from those they are demonstrating against. The conduct of the police forces appears to be the all-too-familiar attempt to suppress critical voices. This Is Far from OverThis kind of approach clearly shows again and again that the crackdown on government critics is far from over—even at the local level. This is unworthy of a democracy. Yet it is the so-called “democrats” who enforce these restrictions.Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | 11.11.2024 |
