Filepix: A police officer removes glue from the hand of a “Letzte Generation” activist blocking a road in front of Brandenburg Gate to protest under the slogan “Let’s stop the fossil madness!” for an end to fossil fuels and against oil drilling in the North Sea, in Berlin, Germany, May 23, 2022/REUTERSPix: A climate activist from the environmental group Last Generation was sentenced to eight months in prison without parole in Berlin on Thursday, a court spokesperson has confirmed to local media.

Although the public prosecutor's office had only requested a fine, the court imposed the highest sentence ever for a crime of this kind in Germany. In previous convictions for similar crimes, prison sentences of only three to four months have been handed down, while other cases have been dropped altogether.

The majority of Germany's population does not support the activists' actions. Videos on social media show increasing violence against environmentalists, including cars ramming into them. Police officers are also investigated for using violence to clear roads.
