Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Around 2000 demonstrators in Hamburg on Friday demanded an investigation into the racist attack in Hanau a year ago.
They took to the streets under the motto “Solidarity from Hamburg to Hanau”.
According to the police, 500, 600 and 650 people took part in three rallies in the St. Pauli district.
Another 200 to 250 demonstrators had come together in the Wilhelmsburg district.
The Hamburg Alliance against the Right and the Seebrücke Initiative called for the rallies.
There were no incidents.
On the evening of February 19, 2020, the 43-year-old German Tobias R. shot nine people with foreign roots in several places in the Hessian city near Frankfurt, before allegedly killing his mother and then himself. Before that, he had pamphlets and videos with conspiracy theories and racist views posted on the internet.
