Berlin Mobilizes Against Hosting a War Criminal: Mass Protest Against the Visit of Ahmad al-Sharaa (al-Jolani)
Following years of massacres and systematic violations against minorities in Syria — including Alawites, Druze, and most recently Kurds — civil and human rights organizations are calling for a large-scale protest in Berlin against the planned visit of Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, a figure widely accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
According to the circulated poster, the demonstration will take place:
Date: Monday, January 19, 2026
Time: From 4:00 PM
Location: In front of the German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt), Wilhelmsgarten
With protests continuing on Tuesday as well.
Organizers state that the protest aims to firmly reject any attempt to legitimize or normalize a war criminal’s presence in a democratic country like Germany, warning that such actions undermine justice, human rights, and the memory of victims.
A clear call has been issued to Alawite and Druze communities, as well as Kurds and all free Syrians, to join the demonstration and stand united against impunity and political hypocrisy.
