Brisge about arson attack: activist Bahar S. charged in Moabit!

In the Moabit Criminal Court, the indictment against 43-year-old Bahar S. is in full swing. The activist, who is supported by a group of young women, is suspected of having committed an arson attack on the Iranian embassy and two police cars. At the gate of the message in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, it is said to have poured petrol from a canister and, in a further incident in a propalestinian demonstration near the US message, lit a flammable liquid. In addition, she is accused of spraying a swastika, which was winding with a Davidstern. Ambassador from various organizations, such as Amnesty International, were listed in Bahar S.’s defense, while they addressed the "dehumanization" of the Palestinians in Germany.

increased security measures in Berlin

The security Situation in Berlin was further tightened due to current threats. The Israeli message in particular enjoys a “maximum high level” of protection, said policeP spokeswoman Beate Ostertag. After a recent attempt to arrest from a Libyan who is accused of having planned an attack on the message, the security measures have been checked and increased again. The suspect, Omar A., is said to have targeted a publicly effective attack with firearms since October 2024.

The police now have over 160 Jewish or Israeli institutions in the capital in constant guard. Despite the arrest of Omar A., the security situation remains tense, and the authority works in constant exchange with national and international security services to dynamically adapt. It is reported that the security measures after Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 were significantly tightened, which reinforces the threat to the community.

These processes illustrate the tense security relationships in the capital and the serious challenges with which the Berlin police are faced with protecting Jewish and Israeli facilities, while a completely different process in the courtroom takes attention.
