Another Neo-nazi Attack on an Antifascist Concert

On November 27, 2007, in Samara, on there way from a punk-festival, up to 6 antifascists were attacked and severely beaten by a group of around 30 nazi-skinheads.

After the concert, a group of about 30 antifascists and other visitors of the festival were followed by neo-nazi skinheads. The group was stretched in long line, so when the majority of them turned round the corner of a street, five or six of them, including one girl, were attacked by the neo-nazis.

The attackers split into smaller groups and started the beating. Three people were hospitalized with brain concussion, the others got head injuries. One of the victims is still unconscious.

It is the first attack of this sort in Samara. Antifascists consider that the neo-nazis could organize it in revenge on the non-militant protest against the ultra-rightwing "Russian march" in Samara on November 4, 2007.
