Austrian right-wing activists stage mock beheading of migrant advocates

None

A far-right Austrian group staged a mock beheading in Vienna's busiest shopping street of two of its members holding "refugees welcome" signs, while several police officers watched the event, saying they were protecting the right of assembly.

 

A video posted online this week, which said it was by the anti-immigrant Identitaeren group, shows two masked men dressed in military fatigues pretending to behead a man and a woman. At least four police officers and dozens of shoppers look on as jihadist chants in English fill the street and other masked men hold a flag sporting Islamic-style Arabic writing.
