On January 13, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Berlin offices of the leading industrial manufacturing conglomerate, Siemens, to condemn the deal it has signed with the controversial Adani mining project in Australia. Siemens has signed a USD 30 million deal for the construction of rail signalling infrastructure at the Carmichael mine in Queensland, Australia, with the Adani group- a conglomerate controlled by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. 

The Carmichael mining, one of the biggest mining projects in the world, has faced fierce resistance from activists and Indigenous communities in Australia and beyond.
