POLICE in Germany today arrested eight suspected members of a far-right organisation, the public prosecutor said.
The suspects — some of them minors and adolescents — were allegedly part of a group of around 15-20 individuals called Sachsische Separatisten, or Saxonian Separatists, characterised by racist, anti-semitic and partially apocalyptic ideas, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
“Its members are united in a profound rejection of the liberal democratic order and believe that Germany is nearing ‘collapse’,” the statement said.
