Berlin, June 6 (RHC)-- In the German city of Leipzig, dozens of people were arrested or detained over the weekend, as police clashed with protesters and authorities sought to ban demonstrations following the conviction last week of an anti-fascist activist.  Twenty-eight-year old Lina E. received five years in prison for attacking neo-Nazis.  Three others received sentences of two to three years. 

Activists decried the violent crackdown on protests and public assembly.  One Ende Gelände activist told reporters: “It’s unbelievable, experiencing how repressive the state and police are against anti-fascist protesters.  It’s exactly the same response to climate activists.  But we are standing strong together, in solidarity.”
