Prison terms have been handed down to five men involved in a neo-Nazi demonstration in Stockholm, with another given a probationary sentence. Swedish courts have already punished around 30 others for their role in the violence.

The men, who are all aged between 21 and 32 were found guilty of rioting at the demonstration which took place in Kärrtorp, a suburb of the capital in December 2013. Five of them were given prison terms of between four and seven months

The unrest evolved when far right protestors attacked an anti-racism rally organised by local campaigners following an increase in Nazi graffiti in the area.

But the protests turned violent, with several people injured and some stabbed. Members of the neo-Nazi Swedish Resistance were seen throwing firecrackers and bottles into the crowds.

Eventually the right-wing activists were forced to retreat and flee the scene as police battled to control the situation.

Around 30 others have already been convicted of crimes linked to the violence, including the man deemed the regional leader for Stockholm in the neo-Nazi movement, who was jailed for eight months after being found guilty of

instigating a riot (vĺldsamt upplopp).
