The Chemnitz Raid

Résumé

Seven members of the German far-right group Revolution Chemnitz have been arrested in a raid by German authorities (Knight, 2018). The group was accused of preparing to conduct terrorist activities against migrants over the past several months. Weapons and computer hard drives were also confiscated by the authorities conducting the raid. The seven men arrested had previously been involved in an attack on foreigners in mid-September (Knight, 2018). While one can assume the threat posed by Revolution Chemnitz has been at least mitigated, incidents such as this appear to be occurring across the West.
