ATHENS – More than 1,000 Golden Dawn supporters have demonstrated in central Athens against the prosecution of the leader of their Nazi-inspired party and its legislators.
The extreme-right, anti-immigrant Golden Dawn is under a criminal investigation regarding last month’s fatal stabbing of a Greek rap singer.

During Saturday’s peaceful protest, Kassidiaris told reporters it was designed to demand the immediate release of Michaloliakos and the two other jailed lawmakers.
An “anti-fascist” rally and march of similar size took place earlier Saturday, and police prevented it from reaching the Golden Dawn rally.
