Police arrest pro-Palestine demonstrators at sit-in protest in Berlin

Police arrested more than a dozen pro-Palestine demonstrators at a sit-in protest calling for a boycott of Siemens in Berlin on Saturday.

Around 60 demonstrators had gathered in front of Berlin's Alexa shopping center, following criticism from Pro-Palestine groups toward Siemens over the German company's cooperation with Israel on transport projects.

Footage shows the protesters struggling with police and being arrested, while others are searched. The video also shows the protest inside the shopping center, as demonstrators chant and hold placards declaring that 'Siemens supports genocide' and calling to 'Boycott Israeli apartheid, abandon fascism.'

A cardboard model of a washing machine can be seen with white sheets stained with red paint as if smeared with blood.
