Meeting happening in Dresden
The Dresden Police Department carried out an operation today in connection with the gathering in the city center. She was supported by officers from the Saxon riot police.
Around 6 p.m., a rally of critics of the Corona measures started on the old market and ended after about an hour. Emergency services established the identity of a speaker (54) from the meeting. With a view to parts of his speech, the police have initiated a preliminary investigation on suspicion of sedition against the German.
A meeting of the Pegida Förderverein eV started at 7:25 p.m. on the Altmarkt. An elevator then led through the city center and ended again at the Altmarkt.
Parallel to the two meetings, a counter-demonstration took place on Wilsdruffer Straße. The rally ended around 8:15 p.m. without incident. The Dresden Police Department ensured a continuous protest within hearing and sight.
During the operation, police officers found a young man near the Altmarkt who is suspected of having been involved in the riots on May 16 around the Rudolf Harbig Stadium. The personal details of the 31-year-old German were recorded. The criminalists of Soko Hauptallee will take over the further investigations.
