Berlin (dpa / bb) – After an action by climate demonstrators, a 20-year-old comes to the Berlin-Tiergarten district court today (11.20 a.m.). The young man is said to have taken part in a road blockade by the “Last Generation” group in June of this year and sat down with six other people on the roadway in the area of the A100 city motorway in Berlin-Wedding in the morning hours and stuck to it with glue.
A penalty order for a fine of 450 euros (30 daily rates of 15 euros each) was allegedly issued against the 20-year-old for coercion and resistance to law enforcement officials. Because he had lodged an objection to this, the oral hearing is now taking place. One day is planned for the process so far.
In total, the court now had 114 (as of August 22, 2022) proceedings before it, a judge explained on request. At the request of the public prosecutor, the district court in Tiergarten imposed fines in 66 cases. However, objections have already been filed in 24 proceedings. So far there has been no final decision.
