Gerrnans protest screening of video
PASSAU, GERMANY — Hundreds of protesters marched Sunday outside a meeting of a rightist-extremist political Party in southern Germany, after the city lost two court cases in trying to STOP the group from screening a video featuring a British historian banned from the country.
About 2,600 demonstrators gathered in the southem town of Passau, displaying signs reading: Extreme-rightists Unwanted, as police said nearly 2,200 members of the German People’s Union party met in a conference hall.
Passau officials initially sought to ban the party from showing a video featuring historian David Irving, who is banned from entering Gerinany, where denial of the Holocaust and incitement to racial hatred are illegal.
