West German police mass-detained youth returning from East Berlin meetings

Evidence

Government and official bodies used the police to try to prevent political contacts between West and East Germans. … West German police arrested 10,000 young West Germans who were returning from a Whitsun meeting in East Berlin and held them at the border for over twenty-four hours until they agreed to register their names and undergo a `health’ examination. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1895
