Austria: Police enforce 'danger zone' ahead of far-right ball
Police set up barriers, enforcing a new 'danger zone' in central Vienna, as thousands are expected to protest against the annual Viennese Academics Ball (Wiener Akademikerball) in the Hofburg Palace on Friday. The ball is the festive highlight for the German National Association of Austria, and many of its attendees are members of far-right organisations in Europe.
Police are using the danger zones as a safety measure to stop, search and detain citizens within the designated areas.
