A 300-strong meeting organised in defence of Astrid Proll was disrupted by a violent attack from 40 National Front thugs last Wednesday. - The Front members chanted and heckled as soon as the meeting-opposing moves to send Proll back to the murderous state forces in West Germany-had opened.
As Proll supporters attempted to make them leave the meeting, fighting broke out, and police intervened. In typical fashion they arrested not only one of the hecklers but also a young Indian man who had tried to defend the meeting against attack.

*Build a principled socialist leadership in the labour move landlanshin in the laho
