We stand in solidarity with Kitty O'Brien, the Irish activist who was recently assaulted by police at a peaceful pro-Palestine demonstration in Berlin. ICCL is deeply concerned by the global increase in limitations on the right to protest, particularly in relation to Palestine.
The Irish ambassador to Germany has conveyed her concern to German authorities after an Irish demonstrator was assaulted by police officers during a pro-Palestine protest in Berlin.

⚖️ The age of criminal responsibility should be increased to at least 14 y/o, bringing Ireland in line with international standards. Currently, Ireland remains an outlier in Europe, where countries such as Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Czechia have set the age at 15.
