The lawsuit against the magazine law continues today in Linz

LINZ. In the Linz Regional Court on Tuesday the media process continues because of Nachrede bad and the violation of the protection of identity announced against the controversial magazine "Direct Info"

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"

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
