VIDEO: Violent neo-Nazi protests condemned

Violent far-right protests outside a refugee shelter in Germany have been condemned by the country’s government.

Dozens of police were injured by a neo-Nazi mob hurling bottles and fireworks at officers trying to ensure asylum seekers could move into the shelter in Heidenau, south of Dresden, on Friday.

Chancellor Angela Merkel had been criticised over the weekend for failing to speak out swiftly against the attacks.
