BERLIN (AFP)---Several people were arrested and police used water cannon to disperse demonstrators in clashes in Hamburg Saturday when German anti-Fascist activists protested against a neo-Nazi rally.
Organisers of the protest meeting said some 2,000 activists had gathered in the northern city to demonstrate against a group of some 180 supporters of the extreme right-wing National Democrats (NPD), a fringe party.
Police said the anti-Nazi demonstrators had thrown stones and set fire to trashcans.
Meanwhile in Nuremberg in south Germany, 2000 anti-Fascists rallied to protest a march by Nazis called to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the verdicts in the Nuremberg Tribunal that tried Nazi war criminals.
The protest passed off peacefully, police said.
On October, 1 1946, half the 24 defendants at the Nuremberg tribunal including Hermann Goering were sentenced to death.
