Clashes between anti-immigration protesters and their opponents have broken out in a handful of European cities. In Germany, thousands of PEGIDA activists turned out in both Berlin and Leipzig, and were met by counter demonstrations.

Officers also detained an activist from the radical FEMEN group during the rally.
