Berlin police ban Irish protesters from speaking or singing in Irish at
pro-Palestine ‘ciorcal comhrá’ near Reichstag

Irish protesters were told they are not allowed to speak or sing in Irish
at the pro-Palestine protest camp near the Reichstag in Berlin...Police
broke up the Irish language event attended by about 40 Irish people living
in the German capital, under rules that only allow English and German, and
in some cases Arabic, to be used during protests...Irish freelance
journalist based in Berlin Ruairí Casey, who spoke with the Berlin police
yesterday, said only English and German can be spoken at the protest camp
in front of the Bundestag, and Arabic after 6pm.
