German Officials Declare "Nazi Emergency" in Dresden
----------------------------------------------------

German officials in the eastern city of Dresden have declared a "Nazi
emergency" as far-right movements continue to gain power. Dresden is the
birthplace of Germany's Islamophobic movement. In recent elections, more
than a quarter of Dresden voters supported the anti-immigrant far-right
AFD party. Meanwhile, in Norway, officials arrested American white
supremacist Greg Johnson hours before he was slated to give a speech at
a far-right conference in Oslo Saturday, saying Johnson's hate speech
posed a threat. Johnson has expressed support for Anders Breivik, a
Norwegian right-wing terrorist who killed 77 people in 2011 in the
deadliest attack in Norway since World War II.
