Germany: Police use water cannon as barricades set on fire outside Berlin squat

Subscribe to our channel! Supporters of the ’Rigaer 94’ squat set barricades on fire and reportedly threw stones at police in Berlin on Wednesday. Police used a water cannon to extinguish the flames, which sent smoke billowing over Berlin’s skyline that could be seen from afar, and used an armoured personnel carrier to clear the barricade from the road. Authorities were already setting up a restricted zone outside the property in preparation for a fire inspection to be carried out at the property on Thursday, which the occupants have vowed to resist as they believe it will be used as a pretext to evict them on safety grounds by the building’s owner. #Germany #Berlin #BerlinSquat #Rigaer94 #Rigaer94Squat Video ID: 20210616-029 Video on Demand: Contact: cd@ Twitter: Facebook:
