Chemnitz (dpa / sn) - In the appeal proceedings against six alleged followers of the right-wing extremist terrorist organization "Revolution Chemnitz", the pleadings and judgments are expected today (from 9 a.m.).

The defendants are said to have checked ID cards together with others as so-called vigilante groups on the Chemnitz Schlossteichinsel after a demonstration in late summer 2018.

Not only was a birthday party disrupted by young people, but a group of foreign visitors was also surrounded and harassed.

During the dispute, a bottle is said to have flown, which hit a witness on the head and caused a laceration.

In the summer, the Chemnitz District Court sentenced the men between the ages of 26 and 33 to prison terms of between six months and one year for violating the peace. Judge Kai Goltz excluded parole. At that time, both the defense and the prosecution appealed.
