Nine injured in anti-migrant protests

CHEMNITZ, Germany - Nine people were injured on Saturday on the sidelines of opposing demonstrations by the far-right and the left in the German city of Chemnitz, which was hit by anti-migrant protests last week.

Chemnitz has been in the spotlight after violent xenophobic protests erupted over the fatal stabbing of a German man, allegedly by a Syrian and an Iraqi last on Sunday.

On Saturday, thousands of people answered a joint call by far-right party AfD and the Islamophobic PEGIDA group to descend once again on the streets.
