Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the blockade actions fulfilled the offence of coercion under Art. 181 StGB.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The blockades and related disruptive acts clearly exceeded what must be tolerated in political protest and therefore met the objective and subjective elements of coercion.
Motivazione estratta
The measures were intensive, prolonged, technically organized and centrally directed. Political protest and constitutional freedoms did not protect conduct of this magnitude, and the defendants knew the transports were imminent and intended to stop them.
