The administrative court of Berlin ruled on 11th of December 2012 that the organisers of the Hanfparade were correct in their plans for the demonstration in 2011 and declared the behaviour of the Government Agency for assembly as illegal. In 2011 the agency forbid most parts of the final and closing part of the Hanfparade 2011 at Brandenburger Gate and said it was commercial, which the court now disproved. The Hanfparade is Germany’s traditional rally for the legalisation of Cannabis as a resource, medicine and for recreational use and starts every year in early August.
