Dresden (Saxony), Germany: Neo-Nazi Leaders Sentenced to Prison
August 06, 2008
Two leaders of the right-wing extremist organization “Storm 34” (Sturm 34) were sentenced to prison on grounds of assault. The perpetrators, who are 20 and 23 years old, will have to serve sentences of three and a half and three years. A 19 year old assaulter received two years on probation and two others were found not to be guilty.
The three convicts were members of the Neo-Nazi camaraderie “Storm 34”, which was founded in 2006. They had attacked people of other political beliefs and in some cases gravely injured them. The goal of the organization was supposedly to “clean” the area of Mittweida of foreigners and dissenters. This area of Saxony is considered the center of the right-wing extremist scene. Saxony’s Interior Minister Albrecht Buttolo had banned the organization in 2007.
