Thousands of far-right protesters marched through the German city of Chemnitz on August 27 following the arrest of an Iraqi and a Syrian on charges relating to the fatal stabbing of a German man.

Police said around 6,000 supporters of the right-wing Pro Chemnitz group turned out. They were met by around 1,500 counterprotesters.

Clashes broke out between the two groups with a number of people injured, including two police officers.
