May Day: Neo-Nazis march in Heilbronn

More than 700 neo-nazis had come to the southern german city of Heilbronn on the May 1st to protest against foreign workers on the international workers day. Around 2000 antifascist counter-protestors tried to prevent the demonstration with sit-ins.

The police cordoned off wide areas of the inner city with around 4000 officers, in order to keep both groups apart. Yet small groups of counter-protestors succeeded and set up some small sit-in-blockades. The police removed them quickly and took around 450 of them into custody so that the neo-fascists could hold their May Day march as planned.
