Anti-Nazi Acitivist prosecuted by German CourtJan 30th, 2007 - 09:06:25

Yet another example of Nazism by German officials:

'A court in Stuttgart has now sentenced the owner of the Nix-Gut shop and mailorder for selling antifascist symbols. The reason is according § 86 of the German law the use of symbols neglecting the constitution is baned where the nazis swastika is the most prominent symbol. Now antifascists from probably all over the world are using crossed out swastikas, swastikas being smashed by a fist or a swastika being thrown inside a garbage bin as symbols against fascism.

The aim of the cynical legal system or at least of the state prosecution and the judge in Stuttgart is to criminalize antifascist action and to ruin Nix-Gut mailorder.

The nazis have every reason to applaude this judge for the support they are getting.'
