The environmental engineer Wolfgang Metzeler kick has been on hunger strike in the Stadelheim prison for over ten days because all other means of protest have been taken away from him. For him, one thing is clear: “We have to do everything we can now, because everything is at stake. There will soon be no turning back from what humanity is currently doing. To simply look away now is unforgivable."
Aimee van Baalen emphasizes: “The longer the government sticks to blocking the first simple protective measures against the acute threat of climate catastrophe, the more citizens will find the courage to resist. Faced with the devastating consequences of doing nothing, even prison cells lose their horror.”
