The protests against the IAA in Munich have had unpleasant consequences for a number of activists.
They must remain in custody for the duration of the event.
IAA opponents regard this as "illegal".
Munich - After the protest against the IAA Mobility auto show on several highways in the Munich area, at least nine demonstrators will remain in custody until Sunday evening.
According to court spokesman Thomas Lindinger, the Erding District Court took the women and men into preventive detention due to the Bavarian Police Act.
The Munich police headquarters said on Wednesday that judges would have to decide on detention in other cases.
The identity of five demonstrators could not be established, the presidium justified the presentation to the investigative courts in these cases.
In the case of two other people, as in the Erdinger cases, further actions are to be expected.
That is why imprisonment is applied for until the end of the event.

Protests against IAA Mobility: State security investigated
The state security is investigating because of the actions.
A total of eight demonstrators were released.
"Here, too, preventive police measures, such as entry bans for the entire event area of the IAA Mobility 2021, were issued," said the Munich police.
On Tuesday morning, activists had posted banners on several highways and roped off some bridges.
Because of this, highways had to be temporarily closed.
Sometimes long traffic jams formed.
The police said that 26 people involved were being investigated, among other things, for dangerous interference with road traffic and coercion.
Opponents of the IAA criticized preventive detention as “illegal and unbearable” on the “Aktion Auto Frei” website.
Abseiling over highways is not a criminal offense.
"Free driving is not a basic right - meetings are," they emphasized.
