Police who watched racist killing go free
artdoc November=1995

Three police officers from the town of Eberswalde in eastern
Germany who watched as a group of neonazis kicked an Angolan
immigrant to death will not be brought to trial, according to an
announcement by the State Court in Frankfurt/Oder from 2 June.
The court decided that there was insufficient evidence for a
trial. The plain clothes police officers had previously been
accused of failing to intervene to protect Mr Amadeu Antonio on
the night of 25th November 1990 when he was attacked and killed
by between five and ten neo-nazi youths.
