Ronny and I came across this demonstration while we were on Friedrichstrasse today. As the demo was going the way we wanted to go, we decided to join in, although we had no idea what they were demonstrating about. Turns out this gathering of people (a good two to three hundred I would estimate) was walking for freedom, namely for the freedom of Mumia Abu-Jamal, an African-American journalist, prior Black Panther Member, who is sitting on death row for the alleged murder of a white police officer. The march was also to demonstrate against racism of all kinds. There were people of all ages participating in this march, and although there was a strong police presence, it was a very calm demonstration. We passed in front of two known neo-Nazi stores, which were heavily guarded by police officers (two last pictures).
It was an interesting experience.
