THE LOCAL (DE): Thousands of anti-fascists and neo-Nazis as well as police officers trying to keep them apart filled the city centre Dresden on Saturday after organisers of three neo-Nazi marches were given the judicial go-ahead.
Up to 6,000 neo-Nazis are expected to take part in the marches through the city, while up to 20,000 protestors are also expected, after last weekend 17,000 Dresden residents formed a human chain to show their distain for the far Right.
Fighting had already broken out between demonstrators and police by lunchtime, with the police using pepper spray and a water cannon while some demonstrators were said to have thrown fireworks at the officers. >>> DAPD/hc | Saturday, February 19, 2011
