After an unannounced protest meeting against a solidarity rally with Israel in Chemnitz, police have drawn up eight reports. A police spokeswoman said on Thursday morning.
Accordingly, around 300 people took part in the solidarity rally for Israel early Wednesday evening. During the event, up to 100 counter-demonstrators gathered, chanting non-German chants, according to police. Police directed a larger group toward Stadthallenpark. A statement Wednesday evening spoke of a "tense situation," which is why more police officers were called in. The task forces established the identity of the arrested counter-demonstrators and subsequently made charges, said the police spokeswoman.
In the charges, it was, among other things, about the violation of the Assembly Act, because the counter-assembly had not been reported. In another case it was about the approval of criminal acts, because for example belligerent acts were approved. Also a firecracker had been ignited illegally and an official had been insulted.
