Overview

• The Sächsische Oberverwaltungsgericht in Bautzen rejected Pro Chemnitz/Freie Sachsen’s appeal and upheld the ban on Martin Sellner’s indoor appearance.
• Courts ruled that a talk on “Remigration” exceeded a city council faction’s duties and risked extremist and racist content prohibited by the municipal user ordinance.
• Undeterred by binding rulings, Sellner spoke briefly to supporters through a Rathaus window on the afternoon of July 4.
• The civic alliance Chemnitz verbindet organized about 500 people into a human chain surrounding the town hall in demonstration of democratic values.
• The final court decisions close the legal path for further appeals and strengthen Saxony’s enforcement of extremist‐speech restrictions in public venues.
