- Story Text: Scuffles broke out between German police and pro-Palestinian protesters in Berlin on Wednesday (May 22) as a group of protesters occupied a buidling of Humboldt University.
Protesters shouted slogans such as "viva, viva Palestina", "stop the genocide" and "free Palestine".
According to a post by Berlin police on X, around 300 people participated in the protest, most of whom had left as darkness fell.
Several protesters still inside the building held talks with the university's "leadership," police added.
Earlier, Humboldt University president Julia von Blumenthal was seen entering a side entrance to the premises.
On May 3, police removed around a dozen pro-Palestinian protesters from the grounds of Humboldt University.
