Police press officer Kai Siebenauger commented Tuesday on a large-scale police operation in Bautzen after significantly more than the permitted ten participants arrived at a registered rally the day earlier.

Footage of the rally against COVID measures on Kornplatz showed several hundred participants listening to speeches. Police units also gathered in the square and made loudspeaker announcements that the meeting had to be dispersed. Police cars blocked roads surrounding the area. An arrest was seen on the sidelines, with one participant being pushed to the ground.

Police press officer Siebenauger pointed out that the authorities had given the police the order to disperse the assembly, as they had been informed that the number of participants allowed under the COVID emergency ordinance exceeded ten. According to Siebenauger, around 350 people were present, of whom about 80 were issued administrative offences for violating the ordinances.

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “In this context, a 44-year-old suspect pushed a police officer. The police then arrested the man and in connection with this, the German bit a police officer on the calf. The policeman was then taken to hospital for treatment.”

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “The aim of the police last night was to enforce the measures imposed by the assembly authorities, who are responsible for announcing assemblies, and the police succeeded in doing so. These conditions were, on the one hand, that a maximum of ten participants can take part in an assembly and, on the other hand, that no procession may take place.”

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “Before eighteen o’clock there was an enormous influx of up to 350 people. In consultation with the assembly authorities, we then contacted the leader of the assembly and urged him to comply with his assembly regulations. The leader of the meeting started to give speeches and that was the reason why the meeting authorities decided not to allow the meeting.”

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “However, a group of about 100 people stayed in the street and remained there. As a result, the personal details of these people were taken and misdemeanour charges were filed for violating the Corona Emergency Ordinances. The bottom line is that the police officers issued eighty notices for violations of the Corona Emergency Ordinances.”

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “The police’s bottom line is positive, the police met its target. The goal was to allow the assembly with ten participants. That this did not work was due to the fact that the assembly leader could not implement that the mass of people left the Kornmarkt.”

SOT, Kai Siebenauger, Police spokesperson (German): “In principle, freedom of assembly applies. You cannot see a participant’s beliefs on their face, the police treat everyone the same.”
