Berlin-Sana
Today, some German cities witnessed pro-Russia demonstrations called by the country's large Russian-speaking community to protest against discrimination and violence.
According to Agence France-Presse, about 800 people participated in a demonstration in the center of Frankfurt, raising Russian flags, in a move "against hate and abuse", in reference to the discrimination and violence they are subjected to in Germany by simply speaking the Russian language or for their support of the Russian military operation in Ukraine and the lack of respect for their views.
And the participants in the demonstration set out for the largest cemetery in the city to lay flowers at the fence in honor of Soviet soldiers who fell in World War II.
The demonstration was topped by a large banner that read, "Truth and diversity of opinions, not propaganda."
The demonstrators indicated that they gathered for peace in the world, stressing that there are children who are beaten in German schools only because they speak Russian.
600 people also participated in a similar gathering organized simultaneously in Hanover, northern Germany, called by Russian-speaking people, where the demonstrators set out in a motorcade under police surveillance.
Yesterday, Lubeck and Stuttgart, north and southwest of the country, witnessed two similar demonstrations in support of Russia and a protest against discrimination and violence against Russian speakers.
