Unannounced gatherings banned until the beginning of December
Unregistered and unauthorized gatherings in support of Hamas or its attacks on Israel will remain banned in Hamburg until Sunday (3 December). A general order in force since mid-October has been extended again, as the police announced on Wednesday evening. Regularly registered gatherings in the open air will continue to be intensively examined and confirmed by the assembly authorities, unless there are reasons for a ban, it said.
Despite the ban on unannounced gatherings, demonstrations in support of Hamas or its conflicts with Israel could potentially lead to conflicts with the police. The police have strengthened their surveillance of registered gatherings, as they may become a focal point for protests and potential clashes.
