The case against well-known Viennese lawyer Astrid Wagner for incitement to hatred has been dropped. The lawyer was reported on May 23 after dispersing a pro-Palestinian rally in the federal capital after she delivered a speech at the rally. For the lawyer, the hiring went “as expected,” she said Monday.
Most importantly, Wagner was invited by the demo organizer to present her “legal expertise” at the meeting. She quoted from “rulings of administrative courts” according to which the phrase “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” is “not fundamentally illegal” but “only when used in a certain context,” she explained. lawyer.

After the event was aborted – for Wagner “for no apparent reason” – she was stopped by police officers, asked to verify her identity and ultimately reported.
“That’s why people don’t dare to say anything anymore,” said the lawyer. “As a lawyer I am not afraid, I know the law. But others are intimidated by ads.”
After the incident, Wagner also filed a complaint against the police officers for abuse of office, which has since been withdrawn. However, a complaint against the official act is still pending. She also represents a pensioner who was handcuffed and denied access to the toilet.
