A court in Hanover has fined four neo-Nazi activists 3,500 marks (about $2,000) each for incitement to racial discrimination and for disturbances at a rally of political opponents.
The state prosecution, which pleaded for prison terms of six months, said it would study the possibility of an appeal.
Among the four activists is Willi Wegner, the vice chairman of a neo-Nazi organization known as FAP, the Freiheit Liche Deutsche Arbeiter-partei (Free German Workers Party).
Accompanied by several young supporters, the four caused disturbances last year at a meeting at the University of Luneburg by shouting slogans against Jews and foreigners. Several individuals were injured in subsequent fistfights.
