Man given prison sentence in Germany for violent far-right rock music

Berlin [Germany], April 23: The main defendant has been sentenced to two years and eight months in prison in a trial in a northern German court concerning the production and sale of far-right rock music that glorified violence.
"When you listen to it, it really leaves you speechless," the presiding judge at the court in the city of Lüneburg, Michael Herrmann, said. The 35-year-old was convicted of incitement to hatred, the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations and depictions of violence. The court was convinced that he had sold and produced recordings with content inciting hatred.
Together with a 55-year-old man from Hamburg and a 46-year-old man from Saxony living in Escheburg, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the 35-year-old operated the sale of the recordings. Both were given suspended sentences.
