protest screening of video PASSAU, GERMANY --
Hundreds of protesters marched Sunday
outside a meeting of a rightist-extremist
political Party in southern Germany, after
the city lost two court cases in trying to
STOP the group from screening a video
featuring a British historian banned from
the country. About 2,600 demonstrators gathered in
the southem town of Passau, displaying
signs reading: Extreme-rightists Unwanted,
as police said nearly 2,200 members of the
German People's Union party met in a
conference hall. Passau officials initially sought to
ban the party from showing a video
featuring historian David Irving,
who is banned from entering Gerinany,
where denial of the Holocaust and
incitement to racial hatred are illegal.
