Police disperse big skinhead gathering
Magdeburg / Germany (RNC Agency) 03.03.1996
About 700 police officers were deployed to break up a concert attended by 1.000 far-right skinheads in eastern Gemany, police said on Sunday.The audience at the unauthorised gathering late on Saturday night at first refused to leave a ware house in Braleben , north of Magdeburg, after authorities decided they could be danger to public order. But when police reinforcements were called in , most of the skinheads -- shaven-headed youths in leather jackets and boots whose liking for hard rock musicis often goes hand-in-hand with far-right ideology-- agreed to go quietly. Two of the skinheads were slightly injured in scuffels with police and 14 were detained briefly after refusing to show identification.
