Tausend Demonstranten haben anlässlich des WM-Spiels Mexiko-Iran gegen die Politik des iranischen Präsidenten demonstriert. Bayerns Innenminister Günther Beckstein griff Mahmud Ahmadinedschad mit scharfen Worten an.

Nürnberg/dpa. Mehr als 1000 Demonstranten haben am Sonntag vor dem WM-Spiel Iran-Mexiko in Nürnberg (18.00 Uhr) gegen die Politik des iranischen Präsidenten Mahmud Ahmadinedschad protestiert. Mehrere Redner forderten ein Einreiseverbot für den iranischen Staatschef. Sie erklärten, für Holocaust-Leugner gebe es keinen Platz in Deutschland. Der Deutschlandbesuch von Ahmadinedschads Stellvertreter, Mohammed Aliabadi, anlässlich der Fußball-WM sei eine «Schande für Deutschland». Die Polizei sprach von 1200 Kundgebungsteilnehmern, darunter viele deutsche Juden.

  Kurz vor dem Anpfiff der Partie Iran gegen Mexiko haben in der Nürnberger Innenstadt 1200 Menchen gegen Machthaber in Teheran demonstriert.

Iran’s Football team will be met with a series of protests across Germany during their World Cup campaign as anger mounts against the country’s viciously anti-semitic President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

According to the pro-Israel group Honestly Concerned, which are helping to organize the rallies, „Sport was never free of politics. World championships and Olympic Games always served also as a political stage, not least in 1936 in Nazi-Germany. However, instead of showing Ahmadinedjad the red card, German Minister of Interior, Wolfgang Schauble, announced: ‚We should be good hosts‘.“

‚Aliabadi has not distanced himself in any way from the statements that his President has made,‘ said Sacha Stawski of pro-Israel group Honestly Concerned, who are helping to organise today’s rally. ‚It’s highly unlikely he thinks any differently. Until he distances himself from the regime we will protest against him.‘
