Germany: For incitement to racial hatred accused the leader of Pegida
O founder of the anti-immigrant and Islamophobic movement Pegida faces charges of "inciting racial hatred" as called by the posts on the Internet last year refugees 'animals' and 'tramps', announced Friday the Prosecution of Dresden.
The 42 year-old Lutz Bachman was posted in September 2014 on account of the social networking site Facebook messages hostile to the "war refugees and asylum seekers' stated in a press release by the Public Prosecutor of the city which was founded last autumn the organization Pegida (acronym "Patriots of Europeans against the Islamization of the West").
These settings, which characterized the refugees 'animals' and 'tramps' are "disturbing public order" as well as an "attack on their dignity", underlines the Prosecution in its communication.
The Lutz Bachman, who has already been sentenced to imprisonment for robberies and other criminal offenses related to drugs, faces the possibility of a penalty of imprisonment up to 5 years, reported the German news agency DPA.
These messages were posted last September and became known in late January, when the Pegida, who was at that time at its peak, had organized a gathering attended by 25,000 people in Dresden after the attacks in France against the magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket.
The Bachman, whose photo mimics Adolf Hitler was also leaked to the press, was forced to resign before being reinstated in the movement one months later.
