Anti-genocide activists detained at gunpoint outside Rheinmetall facility in Berlin

Activists protesting German arms giant Rheinmetall's role in supplying weapons linked to Israel's genocide in Gaza were detained at gunpoint by police outside one of the company's Berlin facilities. The peaceful demonstration targeted Rheinmetall over plans to manufacture ammunition that activists say will support Israel's ongoing military operations. Video from the scene shows armed officers confronting protesters at gunpoint, ordering them from a vehicle and restraining them. Campaigners condemned the response as disproportionate and accused authorities of shielding Rheinmetall from public opposition while cracking down on anti-genocide activism.
