Also Jewish case target in protests Chemnitz: owner injured

chemnitz - In case of protests by nationalists against immigration in Chemnitz in the east of Germany, a Jewish restaurant was attacked nearly two weeks ago. The newspaper Die Welt reported on Saturday that on 27 August, ten neo-Nazis, stones, bottles and a well-worn steel pipe were tossed to the restaurant.

The people dressed in black had made themselves unrecognizable and exclaimed: 'Get out of Germany, you Jewish pig. 'The owner of the restaurant was wounded on the shoulder by a stone thrown at him. The criminal investigation in the Land of Saxony indicated that the restaurant owner had filed a report. The Interior Ministry said that it was probably a 'politically motivated act with an anti-Semitic background. '

In recent weeks there have been several demonstrations of right-wing populist anti-Islamist groups in Chemnitz. The reason was a deadly stabbing two weeks ago that killed a 35-year-old German. The main suspect is an Iraqi asylum seeker.
