The crowd in front of the Berlin Police Department marched along Friedrich Street, waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags.

Speakers highlighted police crackdowns against pro-Palestinian protests that have lasted for one year but vowed to continue despite pressure.

They also criticized German media for failing to report the truth.

A small pro-Israel group tried to provoke the march by waving Israeli flags, but police placed vehicles between the group and protesters to prevent escalation.

Three people were arrested at the end of the protest.
