2010 Sofasi Riot



The Sofasi Riot 2010 was a riot started by tens of Lovian neo-nazis in Sofasi, Clymene on 11 May 2010. The Federal Police succeeded in an hour to restore the public rest. The hooligans, coming from Clymene, Kings, Oceana and Sylvania, damaged two cars and two houses which were, with intent, set on fire. At least 38 rioters were arrested on grounds of suspicion of ferocity and incendiarism. In total, 2 civilians and 19 policemen and hooligans got injured. There were no casualties stated.

A couple of the hooligans were linked to the Unity of Republicans. When it became public that Republican members had been involved in the event, Republican leader Alexandru Latin announced to put an end to the existence of his controversial Unity.

On 12 May 2010, Iron Guard Party leader Hessel Doorian used the riot to warn Lovia for more unrest caused by rightist extremists, although his party has never been linked to the Sofasi riot.
