LIVE: Rally in support of Berlin’s Rigaer 94 squat as tensions rise over fire safety

Ruptly is live from Berlin on Thursday, June 17, as protests are expected over a fire safety check in the famous left-wing Rigaer 94 squat. On Wednesday, police in riot gear cleared a barricade in the area while a water cannon was used to extinguish a blaze. Authorities set up a restricted zone outside the property in preparation for the fire inspection. The occupants have vowed to resist the check as they believe it will be used as a pretext to evict them.
