The neo-Nazis protested outside Tegel prison in northwestern Berlin where Michael Regener, former singer of the banned rock group Landser, is serving a three-year sentence.
Michael Regener, also known as Lunikoff, was sentenced in December 2003 to three years and four months in jail after a court ruled his skinhead rock band Landser (German for 'foot soldiers') was a criminal organisation that spread racial hatred of Jewish people and foreigners. He began his sentence in April 2005 after losing legal appeals.

Michael Regener is a member of the extremist German National Party (NPD) which organized the rally. Some protesters carried posters reading "Freedom for Lunikoff" as they marched near the prison. Police said 16 neo-Nazis were arrested during the demonstration.
