Administrative Court bans march on mosque



Cologne - The right "citizens' movement pro NRW" will show again on Saturday in Cologne.
The march to the mosque in Ehrenfeld, however, remains banned. The administrative court ruled on Wednesday and confirmed the prohibition by the Cologne police headquarters.
Already in mid-April, the court had rejected an urgent motion of "pro Köln" who oppose the transfer of the rally on 9 Roncalli Square in May from the right bank Deutz addressed. At the demonstration there was "substantial security concerns."
Mainly because it expected massive, sometimes violent counteraction to. A "stationary rally" on the Barmer place was much easier to protect.
These are the 5000 th Polizis entire coming weekend will be in use. "We will have water cannon here and use them if necessary, and accept no violence," said Police President Klaus Steffenhagen.
Since it will be used primarily on Saturday to massive traffic problems on the rings and in the Deutz district, advises the police to retrieve current disability among www.polizei-koeln.de or the Citizens Telephone (02 21 / 2 29 77 77).
