Authorities disperse anti-war protests in Cologne
In downtown Cologne on August 31, 2025, a peaceful anti-war demonstration took a turn for the worse as violent clashes erupted between police and protesters at around 9:59 AM.
The rally, organised by the "Disarm Rheinmetall" coalition, was aimed at protesting against the leader of Rheinmetall and demanding the demilitarization of Germany. Speakers at the rally emphasised the importance of international friendship, including between Germany and Russia.
However, the events took a turn as officers were attacked, and repeated violations of assembly laws occurred. Twelve officers were injured, four of whom had to end their shift early due to their injuries. A spokesperson for the protesters also reported injuries.
The situation escalated further as the police used tear gas and batons to prevent further attacks. The rally was eventually halted due to the violence that ensued.
It is worth noting that the organisation that demonstrated against the leader of Rheinmetall in his residential area is not explicitly named in the provided search results. The taking of personal details continued into the early morning, with several people taken into custody.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of peaceful protests and adherence to assembly laws to ensure the safety of all parties involved. Further updates on this developing story will be provided as more information becomes available.
