Magdeburg - A court in Magdeburg, Germany convicted five men of sedition on Thursday for throwing a copy of Anne Frank's diary in a bonfire last June at a community party organised by neo-Nazis.

The men were each handed a suspended sentence of nine months in prison.

The court also convicted the men, aged 24 to 29, of insulting the memory of the dead.

Frank was captured by the Nazis and died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Two other defendants were acquitted.
