Default Court ‘erases’ Russian inmate’s neo-Nazi tattoos

Court ‘erases’ Russian inmate’s neo-Nazi tattoos

A court in the Central Russian region of Chuvashia has ordered a man who is currently serving a prison sentence remove two swastika tattoos from his chest under a law banning any public demonstration of symbols used by the Nazis.

The tattoos on the convict’s body bear such close resemblance to symbols used as state emblems in Nazi Germany that they could be easily confused for them. The court rules that the man is guilty of a civil offense and orders him to pay a fine of 1,000 rubles [about $17]. The court also orders punishment in the form of confiscation of the object of the civil offense in the form of removal of the tattoos by the convict himself,” reads the verdict of the Cheboksary District Court, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
