Pro-Palestine demonstrators, who have been occupying rooms at a Berlin university, have been told that they will only be allowed to stay until 6pm, Al Jazeera reports.
About 50 protesters have occupied several rooms at the Institute of Social Sciences at Humboldt University in support of Palestinians since Wednesday afternoon, the police and Germany’s dpa news agency estimated.
A further 250 to 300 young people demonstrated on the street outside.
In a statement, the Student Coalition Berlin group accused Israel of “genocide” and “ongoing mass murders”, saying the protest was about “unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian people”.
The protesters had called on the university to accept their occupation and presence and to ban a police operation.
