About 10 police monitored the gathering of skinheads in a disco in the village of Rogiedle on Saturday evening, according to the Super Express newspaper. "We only learnt about their presence when they were already inside. There was no public unrest. They were on private ground. The owner of the disco told us they were celebrating a birthday of someone there," said police spokeswoman Bozena Przyborowska.
The paper said a 17-year-old was recently murdered in the village and several buildings had suffered arson attacks. Polish law bans organizations which promote Nazism, fascism or communism.
