German neo-Nazi festival may continue
meiningen June 1, 2018 15:48The court in the German city of Meiningen has lifted the ban on the right-wing extremist rock festival 'Rock against foreigners'. The Hildburghausen district had banned the festival in Themar (8-9 June) because rare bird species on and around the site raise their young. The court found the ban invalid, because there is insufficient evidence that the festival violates nature conservation laws. An appeal can still be lodged against this decision.
