Streetworker of a Viennese institution complained because he is represented by the name both online and in a print edition as a militant linker.

The private prosecutor and witness is defamed by both publications. He claimed that in his many lectures, especially in Germany, he did not call for violence, which he also distanced from the court. He was rather a qualified "anti-violence trainer", he says

Specifically, he also refuses to publish a photo of an article posted online in November 2017. Then you see the man from 27, while he is apparently detained by a police officer on the ground. According to the report, he allegedly attacked a democrat at Karlsplatz in Vienna in September 2016, an identity, which is why the prosecutor's office suspected of raufhandel and serious injury.

"Threats from the Far Right"

This is not true he said on the first day of the trial in June. For professional reasons – he was working as a street worker at the time – he had been on the sidelines of the rally. Then he was "pushed" from behind by a policeman. However, the Vienna prosecutor's office was investigating him. It was interrupted on February 8 this year, "because there was no real reason for persecution," he said.

The main objective of his trial was to remove the article "from the Internet". Since his release, he receives on the Internet "from the far-right environment threats of violence." He feels "hatred and aggression" against his person, at a conference he even needs police protection

The witness should be heard

The magazine continued, filed by the Austrian Resistance Archives as being right, attended the first hearing all to support the "search results" published in the online article, which were included in a print version in mid-February 2018. Thus presented the defender as evidence of accused of belonging to militant scenes u. at. Extracts from his lectures. As a reason for the announcement of his name, he said the 29-year-old is a "person of public interest."
