ITALY VOTES TO OUTLAW FASCIST, NAZI PROPAGANDA

The Italian parliament voted to outlaw public displays of Nazi or Fascist symbols, following a spate of incidents across the country. The new law, passed late Tuesday by the lower assembly, foresees jail terms from six months to almost three years for people who perform Nazi or Fascist salutes, sell Nazi-Fascist memorabilia or post Nazi-Fascist propaganda on the internet. To enter into force, it will need approval also from the Senate before parliament is dissolved in early 2018, which may not happen given a busy legislative agenda.
