After the verdict against Lina E. for left-wing extremist acts of violence, the police also expected further disruptive actions in Leipzig on Sunday. But so far everything has been quiet.
After the recent riots between left-wing radicals and the police in Leipzig, things initially remained quiet on Sunday evening. According to a dpa reporter, some people gathered at Alexis-Schumann-Platz and Herderplatz in the Connewitz district. But there was no rally.
The city had previously banned a demonstration scheduled for Sunday evening. The decision was justified by a city spokesman with the riots on Saturday evening. Demonstrations had also been banned in the days before.
After the renewed ban in Leipzig, left-wing extremists called for a meeting against police violence in Dresden on Sunday. According to the police, it was also quiet in the evening. Several officials and demonstrators were injured in riots in the south of Leipzig on Saturday evening. There had already been riots there on Friday evening. The reason for this was the verdict against left-wing extremist Lina E. The 28-year-old and other co-defendants were convicted of violent crimes in Dresden on Wednesday.
