Hambach which one of the oldest forests in the world is still under occupation. While protests continue in Hambach, police use disproportionate force against activists.
CAMPS ARE DISTRIBUTED
Police intervened to the camp area located in the woods. While police tried to remove the activists from the field, the environmentalists also resisted against the forces. Demonstrators carried their camps to the forest to escape police violence.
ABATISTS WERE BUILT
A group of demonstrators built abatists by assembling logs against the police forces.
Some activists clashed with police. Police detained the demonstrators by dragging them on the ground.
PROTECTING OF FORREST
Thousands of environmentalists from Germany, as well as from Europe, supported the activists who set up tree houses in the forest.
In Germany, environmentalists established tree houses in the forest in order to prevent the trees in the Hambach Forest near the city of Cologne from being cut for lignite.
