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.
