The Leipzig Administrative Court has confirmed the ban on three demonstrations that were registered for Saturday in Leipzig. These should lead on different routes as a star march to the Leipzig district of Connewitz. As a justification, the court stated that there was a high probability that an unsatisfactory course could be expected. This also applies to the nationwide mobilization in the violent left-wing autonomous scene. In addition, the city’s bans are not legally objectionable. The authority could forbid the assembly “if after […] recognizable circumstances, public safety or order is directly endangered when the meeting or the elevator is carried out “.
No complaint planned
As the organizers of the demo announced on their website on Friday, they do not want to file a complaint with the Higher Administrative Court in Bautzen. You therefore estimate the chances of success as low.
It is no longer up to us as the organizers of the forbidden demonstration stations to determine how the weekend will continue to develop.
Police operation planned
Meanwhile, two articles have been published on the website de.indymedia.org calling for people to go to Leipzig. According to police spokesman Olaf Hoppe, the police are still preparing for an operation. This happens regardless of the current prohibition orders. In addition, a so-called control area will be set up in the districts of Plagwitz, Südvorstadt and Connewitz from Friday to Sunday, in which the police can carry out personal and bag checks without specific suspicion.
