Giving a Fascist salute is all
right if it is "commemorative" and non-violent, the supreme
Court of Cassation ruled Tuesday.
It is thus considered a free expression of thought rather
than an assault on democratic values, the court said, acquitting
two Brothers of Italy (FdI) supporters who gave the salute in
Milan in 2014.
They had been charged under an Italian law including such
salutes as "complicity in Fascist demonstrations," which are
criminally liable under a postwar law banning the apology of
Fascism.
