The decision was then confirmed by the Bremen Administrative Court and the Higher Administrative Court.
The start of the demonstration is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Higher Administrative Court (OVG) justified its decision against the demonstration by stating that there was no more lenient means than the ban on assembly.
