An event in Berlin addressing issues surrounding Palestine and the ongoing conflict in Gaza was forcibly relocated on Tuesday by German police under intense political and police pressure, facing threats following the move, Anadolu Agency reports.
The “Reclaiming the Discourse: Palestine, Justice, and Truth” event, featuring UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and prominent human rights figures, originally set to take place at Kuhlhaus Berlin, was moved to Junge Welt at Torstrabe 6 after the venue faced coercion from German politicians and Berlin police, Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) said in a statement.
The event also featured Amnesty International’s Julia Duchrow, Medico International’s Riad Othman, and Jewish artists Eyal Weizman and Michael Barenboim.
Is anyone who isn’t a Turkish propaganda outlet reporting it though?
If so, I can’t find it.
I can give you some German articles:

And a statement in English by the Diem25 movement criticising parts of the Left party supporting the repression instead of standing against it.

Often TR and AA are the first international media to report on supression of Palestine solidarity in Germany. Due to the large population with Turkish ancestry and identity they have teams in places like Berlin following these issues actively.
I get that they are biased towards Turkiye, but in regards to supression and attacks on Palestine solidarity in Germany i found their reporting factual so far.
