HoGeSa Hooligans Protest In Hanover

HANOVER, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 15: Minister of Interiour of the State of Lower Saxony, Boris Pistorius (L) and Head of Police of Hanover, Volker Kluew, are seen while Hooligans and other supporters of the HoGeSa movement protest against radical Islamists on November 15, 2014 in Hanover, Germany. HoGeSa, which stands for "Hooligans Gegen Salafisten," or "Hooligans Against Salafis", has brought football hooligans, right-wing populists and neo-Nazis together to ostensibly protest against Salafis in Germany, who are among the more radical Islamist immigrant groups and have been accused of supporting Islamic State violence in Syria. Critics charge that HoGeSa is just a pretext for violence, as exemplified by the recent HoGeSa march in Cologne that led to street battles between participants and police.
