Berlin [Germany], April 6: Several hundred people demonstrated in Berlin on Sunday against US and Israeli actions in the Middle East.
Among the protesters were numerous people carrying Iranian flags as well as pro-Palestinian demonstrators, according to a DPA reporter at the scene.
Police said between 500 and 700 people took part at times in the demonstration, which was titled "Stop US-Israeli aggression! Hands off Iran, Lebanon, Palestine & Sudan!"
The demonstration began in the early afternoon at Berlin's central railway station and was due to pass through the government district to the Brandenburg Gate.
A rally had originally been planned on Pariser Platz, directly in front of the US embassy. However, the police list of demonstrations in Berlin published online stated that the demonstration would end on the other side of the Brandenburg Gate.
This was already the second time this weekend that Iranian flags and pro-Palestinian demonstrators had been seen at large-scale protests in Berlin, following the traditional Easter peace march on Holy Saturday.
