On Monday, September 30, the Berlin police, on behalf of the public prosecutor’s office, conducted house raids with a total of 125 officers, on the homes of five pro-Palestinian activists ranging in age from 18 to 40. The simultaneous raids took place around 6:00 a.m., in what police describe as a series of “pro-Palestinian motivated crimes.”

I'm sure the actual article explains this better than the post blurb. I'm about to read it, so I'll find out in a minute. The blurb however makes it sound like the police raids were a series of pro-Palestinian motivated crimes.

And they were never heard from again.

The blurb is verbatim the first paragraph of the article. It is clearly not what they meant to say. Should have been proofread better I guess. shrugs
