Far-right anti-vaccination activists are suspected of plotting to kill Saxony leader Michael Kretschmer.
Police in Germany's eastern state of Saxony have launched a series of raids after death threats were made against Premier Michael Kretschmer for backing coronavirus measures.
Police in Saxony said security forces including the special Soko Rex anti-extremist unit were raiding a number of locations, in response to the threats made against the state premier highlighted by a German TV documentary a week ago. Police said statements had been made on plans to kill the state premier as well as other state representatives.
There have been several protests in Germany against tighter restrictions. On Monday night some 3,500 people demonstrated in the eastern city of Magdeburg, chanting "peace, freedom, no dictatorship".
