![On saturday, March 14th, a manifestation against rising rents and gentrification as well as for a right for free spaces took place in Berlin (Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg). Around 3000-4000 people took part in it.
At the second part of the planned route it came to several escalations, which began with Berlin´s police trials to enter a house nearby the manifestation route, where activists were standing and jumbleing fliers up onto the manifestation. This action has not been the first, activists have been seen by the police on the roofs also before - during the first part of the manifestation. They have been tolerated, because the streets before were bigger and media escort higher. At Simon-Dach-Steet (nearby Revaler Street) a police-”Einsatzleiter” (officer-in-charge) must have had felt some lust for his personal career and commanded the entering of the house. As an effect the manifestation attacked the police car of the entering crew. The car had to escape quickly, without realization of the arrest plans.
Berlin´s police answered the car-attack with a tightening of their forces in Revaler Street. A person, fleeing not fast enough from the tightening police forces, has been arrested. The manifestation parted at this place then. At the evening several damages (to cars) have been counted.
The police had caused the injury of a person at 6:38p.m. (Frankfurter Allee / Petersburger Straße), you can hear voices of witnesses at

As a special trick to keep own men away from accuses, the police wrote in their own official report, that the reasons for the person´s injuries are “unclear”, that the responsibility is unknown.
Unfortunately, two newspapers in Berlin have shown a serious unprofessionality of their work: the Berliner Morgenpost (March 15th.) and the Berliner Zeitung (March 16th) have quotated this part of police´s report without any own recherche work about it so far.
