Police encircled around 1000 demonstrators in Leipzig. Water throwing was ready, a dpa reporter reported on Saturday evening.
Overall, however, the situation has calmed down somewhat, at least temporarily. The occasion is the verdict against Lina E. and three co-defendants for attacks on alleged or actual neo-Nazis. The square was finally cleared by the police. Another demonstration had been banned in front of the court. The verdict is expected to be delivered in the next few days.
