Two Chinese tourists have been arrested in Berlin accused of making the Nazi salute outside the German parliament
ADVERTISEMENTTwo Chinese tourists have been arrested in Berlin accused of making the Nazi salute outside the German parliament.
In a case that has made headlines around the world, it is reported the men have been charged under post-World War Two legislation that bans symbols and gestures used by Hitler.
Police say officers witnessed the middle-aged men make the salute while snapping photos on their mobile phones.
It is reported the men have been released on a bail of 500 euros.
The charges carry a fine or up to three years in prison.
While many Europeans will be aware of the anti-Nazi laws in Germany, that is unlikely to be the case for visitors from further afield.
