After the verdict against Lina E.: “Tag-X-Demo” banned in Leipzig
Now the city of Leipzig has banned the solidarity demonstration for Lina E. According to the “circumstances that can currently be identified”, security is “immediately endangered” when the planned meeting is held. A “non-peaceful course” of the demo is to be expected, according to a police statement.
However, the organizers want to defend themselves legally: An urgent application against the ban had been received, said the spokesman for the Leipzig Administrative Court on Friday (June 2). The competent Senate will decide on this later in the day. The plaintiff is a private individual who registered the demo.

After protests in Leipzig: MPs from Die Linke arrested
After the protests in Leipzig, a member of the state parliament from the left was temporarily detained. Member of Parliament Juliane Nagel was arrested “as part of what was happening at the meeting”, the Saxony police tweeted on Friday night. There is a suspicion of disruption of an official act. The exact circumstances are still being determined.
Nagel herself said in a video distributed on Twitter that she had registered for a demonstration held on Thursday for World Children’s Day. After the end, “people were picked out for alleged crimes” such as masking and freeing prisoners.
While she watched two people being handcuffed as their identity was determined, a police officer verbally abused and “pushed her out of the way,” Nagel said. Then the officer “remembered that I allegedly assaulted him”. She was handcuffed and taken to a police car. After the intervention of her lawyer, she was finally released “relatively quickly”.
