Two years after day X: Massively criticized police campaigns in Leipzig!

on June 2, 2025, two years after the events of the controversial "Day X" in Leipzig, most of the investigations were discontinued for serious breach of the peace. This decision is the result of a small request and proves massive deficits in dealing with the police authorities with the protesters. According to the information from linxxnet.de were processed alone set, which corresponds to almost two thirds of the overall cases. The main reasons for this are that the fact, illegality or guilt was not detectable.

On June 3, 2023, there were massive police operations when the officials recorded 1,324 people as part of the boiler for up to eleven hours after an anti -fascist assembly was dissolved. Reports on the insufficient care of the recorded and the subsequent introduction of procedures caused far -reaching criticism. According to the Ministry of the Interior, there were only charges in 19 cases, which corresponds to less than 1.5% of the procedures. In retrospect, the majority of those affected, including minors and children, were regarded as uninvolved and innocent.

background of the protests

The protests that led to the massive police operations were triggered by the judgment in the first "Antifa Ost" process, whereby left-wing extremists and left-wing radical groups mobilized to Leipzig for June 3. Security authorities warned of possible riots, and the city banned any demonstrations that under the motto "Lina E." took place. This happened after the Higher Regional Court of Dresden Lina E. and three co -accused had convicted of brutal attacks on neo -Nazis, although the judgments were not final.

For day X, more than 4,000 police officers from all over Germany were requested. During a short -term registered demonstration for freedom of assembly in Leipzig southern suburb, up to 2,000 people gathered, including several hundred. But the police prohibited the elevator, which led to massive tensions. Masked participants attacked the officials with stones and pyrotechnics, which ultimately led to the encirclement of hundreds of demonstrators.

criticism of police methods

reports on telescopic strikes found in the boiler proved to be wrong. The procedure of the police is criticized by those affected, among other things, as disproportionately, in particular the massive procedural settings strengthen the view that criminalization is to be regarded as unfounded. Research also show that hundreds of the wrapped people were saved as "left-wing extremists" in the constitutional protection databases for at least five years. The immediate deletion of this data is required from various pages.
