Italian demonstrators indicted for racial hatred towards Jews
Four demonstrators who took part in an anti-fascist demonstration in Milan in 2018 have been indicted for racial hatred as a result of abuse and threats allegedly aimed at Jewish demonstrators.
The four were indicted for racial or religious hatred offenses allegedly against members of the Jewish Brigade during April 2018 demonstrations to mark the anniversary of Italy’s Liberation in WWII.
A YouTube video of the demonstration shows police keeping noisy demonstrators apart, with far-left protesters on one side of a barrier and Jews on the other. It became more unpleasant when bottles were thrown at Jewish demonstrators and gestures of throat-slitting and machine-guns fire was directed at Jews.
