The German city of Leipzig has lifted a ban on Prophet Muhammad's cartoons which was on the city's list of conditions for the far right German anti-Islam group LEGIDA's rallies.The city's mayor, Burkhard Jung, reportedly told state broadcaster MDR he had decided to lift the ban, because it was a restriction on freedom of speech.In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, the Germany city of Leipzig had first decided to ban the far right German anti-Islam group LEGIDA from using Prophet Muhammad's caricatures in their rallies. The ban was supposed to be put into effect at the group's Monday evening anti-Islam rally.The prohibition was first decided to be undertaken because city officials thought that the use of the Prophet Muhammad's caricatures would be provocative, but many people have since criticized the ban, describing it is as curtailing freedom of speech.In Germany, LEGIDA - short for Leipzig Against the Islamization of the West - aims to bring the success of anti-immigrant protests, which started in the eastern city of Dresden in October, to Leipzig.Thousands of people are expected to attend the Leipzig rally organized by LEGIDA on Monday. According to a news report published by the British daily paper The Guardian on Monday, about 23,000 people have said they are attending the demonstration on Facebook.
