A series of demonstrations were scheduled to be held in Germany on Tuesday to call on
the government to act quickly to help people fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan.
A spokesperson for the Seebruecke (Sea-Bridge) Initiative said it would be holding a protest in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin on Tuesday afternoon with 500 participants expected to take part.
Demonstrations were also planned in Potsdam, Cologne and Bochum.
A number of smaller rallies were held on Monday.
