Large white crosses carried by pro life manifestations through the city of Berlin. Several of the crosses were stolen by members of left wing associations and were thrown into a nearby river.
On September 26, 2009, more than 1300 members of pro life organisations joined a protest in downtown Berlin. They carried 1000 white wooden crosses with them as a symbol of the fate of aborted children. About 400 left wing counter-demonstrators tried to disturb the peaceful manifestation. They were members amongst others of the German political party “Die Linke” or the family planning counseling network “pro familia”. The leftwing radicals - hardly to be contained by the police - ended up hijacking about a dozen of the crosses, throwing them into the nearby river Spree.
