Austria: Prosecutors Charged 17 Members of the Right Wing Generation Identity Group
Austrian law is based on precedent, and the leader of the identity movement, Martin Sellner, says that the case against Generation Identity is being used to set a precedent for 'criminal association', which is a way to criminalize being a member of any organization the government does not like. He says the law will be used to intimidate and prosecute members and supporters of the populist Austrian Freedom Party that recently gained power in the latest election.
