The Bavarian police has preventively arrested 33 climate activists and is holding 17 of them for up to 30 days.

Yes, you read that right. They haven't committed a crime, they have been locked up just because they are "dangerous". This is awful on so many levels...

This is happening in #Germany by the way.

I basically sympathize with the planned measures of #AntiTerror package, but especially the #PreventiveDetention I see legally problematic.
Of course, society should be considered effective #Dschihadisten protected!
But nevertheless, protected by means that 1) are constitutional and 2) can not also be used against sceptical citizens who legitimately criticize government and society and want appropriate changes.
The line is narrow there!
