Italy's High Court Rules Fascist Salute Legal Unless Public Order Threatened

Italy's high court has ruled that fascist salutes are legal at rallies unless they pose a threat to public order or risk reviving the country's outlawed fascist party. The ruling comes after a video showed men performing the salute in central Rome, and the court ordered a second appeals trial for eight men convicted of performing the salute at an event in Milan in 2016. The decision establishes that the Roman salute is not a crime unless there is a concrete danger of reconstructing the fascist party or concrete aims of racial discrimination and violence.
