In May 2024, five members of the climate activist group Last Generation in Germany, were charged with 'forming a criminal organisation'. Mirjam Herrmann, Henning Jeschke, Edmund Schulz, Lukas Popp and Jakob Beyer were charged under section 129 of the German criminal code. It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group. The public prosecutor's office accuses the members of carrying out several attacks on facilities belonging to the PCK Schwedt oil refinery to the north-east of Berlin near the Polish border and an oil pipeline in the north-east of the state of Brandenburg and in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. They are also accused of actions at Berlin's airport and the Barberini Museum in Potsdam.
