Anti-Islam protest cancelled as Pegida leaders quit
By EUobserver
German anti-Islam group Pegida cancelled Monday's (2 February) weekly protest in Dresden for "organisational and legal reasons". On Wednesday, five of the group's leading members left. Spokesperson Kathrin Oertel left “due to the massive hostility, threats and career disadvantages”. Pegida's leader Lutz Bachmann quit after controversy over a Hitler photo.
