A Hamburg court on Wednesday convicted and sentenced seven members and one supporter of the right-wing extremist group “Last Defense Wave” to prison on charges including attempted murder, arson and aggravated assault.
The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court also convicted the defendants of being members or supporters of a terrorist organization. They were found to have planned and carried out arson and bomb attacks on asylum seeker shelters and left-wing facilities, as well as alleged to have engaged in so-called “pedo-hunting” — hunting down people they believed to be pedophiles.
