German authorities arrest eight suspected members of a far-right militant group

Prosecutors in Germany have accused a group known as the "Saxonian Separatists" of planning a military-style takeover of eastern Germany, following which they intended to carry out ethnic cleansing targeting specific groups. The group's objectives and activities are described as being in direct opposition to Germany's democratic order. Law enforcement officials have carried out large-scale raids in multiple locations across Germany, Austria, and Poland, resulting in the arrest of eight suspected members of the group.
