Five Greens leaders seized in East Berlin anti nuclear protest
East German police detained five West German Greens MPs led by Petra Kelly for an unauthorized anti nuclear protest at Alexanderplatz. They unfurled banners with the banned slogan Swords into plowshares and were later released after questioning. The action drew sharp criticism from other peace activists and opposition MPs who called it media staging and selfish.
