Germany Has a Nazi Problem. And a Refugee Problem.

Published September 4, 2018 11:45am ET



The German city of Chemnitz, in the state of Saxony, is seeing large protests by neo-Nazis, following a fatal stabbing of a German citizen by refugees. The men arrested in the case are a 22-year old Iraqi and a 23-year-old Syrian, who are now being charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors were able to confirm late last week that the accused men did not act in self-defense, even if details surrounding the incident remain in the dark. A leaked report from inside the investigation publicly revealed the number of stab wounds, names of the accused men as well as their addresses, while concluding with the name of the judge in charge of the case. The intention of the leaker seems crystal clear: putting high pressure on the case, and the eyes of the country on the incident.
