§ 278a / forming a criminal organization

Was watching a protest march on Mariahilfer Straße while my wife was shopping kids clothing in a department store nearby.

Anti-terrorist legislation was passed by the Austrian parliament in 2002 to facilitate the prosecution of terrorist groups in the country. The law has also been been applied to other potentially nonconformist organisations such as animals rights activists, resulting in the imprisonment of about twenty persons with little evidence and phoney charges for months.
