Verletzte Generation – Carla Hinrichs über zivilen Ungehorsam und die Grenzen des Rechtsstaats

In the organizer's words:

When does protest become a criminal offense? And what happens to a democracy that takes its most committed voices to court? A task force storms the home of a young activist early in the morning, invoking Section 129 of the German Criminal Code. The charge: forming a criminal organization - meaning the "Last Generation" climate movement. Carla Hinrichs, former spokesperson for the movement, processes these experiences in her book Meine verletzte Generation.
The focus is on a generation that feels let down. It is about more than just the climate crisis: it is about fundamental rights, state power and the question of how far a democracy can go to control dissent. What does it mean when a law to combat terrorism and organized crime is used against civil disobedience? Where is the line between the rule of law and repression? Moderated by Sarah Zerback
