To condemns Germany goverment to arrest peaceful demonstrators and violate the human rights.
Appeal to your sense of justice and dialog between Goverment and demonstrators.
They will have a dialogue with them.
They are not like China afterall.
In the country of East Germany or in the country of West Germany?
...someone lit a car on fire. Even in america, that's still a feloney. I suppose, in Europe, you get out the same day...?

Stop arresting the peaceful demonstrators! They are just venting their anger for their righteous cause after years of mistreatment and oppression!
Those who crackdown on the demonstrators are violating the human rights and will be boycotted!
Strong support for them!
Appeal for the Security Council for investigating any human rights violation behind this!
