Tuesday 10 Feb 2015 - 15:11 Makkah mean time-21-4-1436  Photo: Deutsche Welle/Image Stockholm (IINA) – Sweden's first rally by the German-inspired "anti-Islamisation" movement PEGIDA in the city of Malmo was dwarfed Monday by a counter-demonstration about a hundred times larger, AFP reported.
Television images showed a small group of PEGIDA demonstrators hemmed into a cordoned-off area of the southern city's central square, surrounded by anti-racism protesters.
"There are at least 3,000, most of them counter-demonstrators" Malmo police spokesman Lars Foerstell told AFP, adding that there were about 30 PEGIDA protestors.
Counter-demonstrators drowned out attempts by the group to deliver speeches with chants of "no racists on our streets" and police were forced to intervene to extinguish smoke bombs and firecrackers hurled at the PEGIDA side of the square.
