Judgment against right -wing extremist Liebich: tension before the judgment!

Leipzig, Deutschland - In Leipzig, the trial against right-wing extremist Marla-Svenja Liebich is in his crucial phase. The plea and the judgment will be expected in the Leipzig Regional Court on Friday. The focus of the indictment is a alleged attack on a photographer during a Corona demo at the end of 2020, which was more than four and a half years ago. The allegations are serious and highlight the willingness of violence in the right -wing extremist scene.

Liebich, who was previously known as Sven Liebich, received a prison sentence of seven months at the Leipzig District Court in 2023 for dangerous bodily harm. Her three co -accused were condemned with probation between six and ten months. All four appealed against the judgments, which caused the new trial on July 4, 2025. In the meantime, Liebich was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for another crime, sedition and other crimes, which continues to burden her reputation.

incident in the corona demo

l-Iz reports that the incident took place on November 7, 2020 during a lateral thinker demo in Leipzig, in which around 20,000 people took part. After the official dissolution of the event, the situation escalated, with Böller thrown and police officers and media representatives being attacked. In particular, Liebich was accused of having held the photographer Mirko N. together with co -accused in the course of an attack and physically attacked. Video proofs relieve the photographer, who previously had no legal responsibility for his attempt to make a distance.

After the previous convictions, the judges now decided again on the severity of the acts. This time, too, witnesses, including the injured photographer, were interviewed. The district court had classified the accused's self-defense version as not credible and relied on the evidence. It remains to be seen whether the judgment will be announced next Friday, because the tension is tangible.

A look at right -wing extremism in Germany

The case of Liebich is not an isolated case, but part of a worrying trend. According to the constitutional protection , violence-oriented right-wing extremist potential in 2024 increased to around 15,300 people. There is an increase in right -wing extremist crimes compared to the previous year: over 37,800 acts were registered, which is an increase of 47.4 %. The increase in acts of violence, which have increased by 11.6 %, is particularly questionable.

Even if participation in right -wing extremist music events in 2024 dropped to zero - they had played a central role in the scene in the past - the potential for violence in the right -wing extremist ideology remains. Topics such as asylum and migration continue to be taken up to rush against social minorities. The demonstrations on these topics are still high and show that the fight against right -wing extremism is urgently necessary.
