Clashes in Germany as far-left protesters oppose jailing of activists who attacked neo-Nazis.

Police in Leipzig, Germany, broke up a banned left-wing protest on Saturday after clashes with demonstrators. The protest was banned by several courts, but around 1,500 people turned up, with one-third of them seeking violence, according to police. The demonstration was organised in response to the jailing of a young woman from Leipzig for her part in organised attacks on neo-Nazis in Germany. Several police officers were injured in the clashes, and around 300 people were provisionally detained.
