HEIDENAU , Germany, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- A Dresden, Germany, court ruled Friday that a party welcoming refugees as a show of opposition to anti-immigrant politics could go ahead.
Earlier Friday, authorities in the town of Heidenau forced the party to be cancelled, claiming public safety could not be guaranteed because of a shortage of police. The ban on public gatherings in the town of 17,000 on the border with the Czech Republi, included any demonstrations by those who oppose the flow of refugees into Germany.
