"You only know it from the film": "Last Generation" activist Hinrichs describes house search
In a video on the Twitter account of the "Last Generation", Hinrichs describes how she experienced the house search, which Amnesty International described as an "encroachment on fundamental rights".

Then the police are said to have stormed the apartment, so that only a short time later "a policeman with a bulletproof vest" is said to have stood in front of her, who, according to Hinrichs, would have pointed a gun at her. Subsequently, the officers searched "everything" and "took everything" that was part of their everyday life. "They're trying to scare me," the climate activist continued.
However, according to information available Merkur.de, the ad does not obviously come from the "Last Generation". Who exactly made the complaint, the police could not communicate.
