Published Jul 30, 02:20 PM UTC

Following an Islamist terrorist attack during Berlin's Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade, where a driver drove a car into crowds and attacked others with a machete, killing one woman and injuring 31, the Berlin CSD association has announced it will not be intimidated. The association will join the Hamburg CSD parade on Saturday with its own float, provided free of charge. Participants on the float are asked to wear dark clothing. A vigil is planned for Sunday in Berlin to commemorate the victims. The Archbishop of Hamburg, Stefan Heße, also spoke out, urging respect for every person and emphasizing the importance of not being intimidated by hate and violence. The Berlin CSD board stated, 'Our answer to hate is solidarity. Our answer to fear is visibility.'
