German police on Saturday arrested two Chinese tourists for making
illegal "Heil Hitler" salutes in front of the historic Reichstag
building, Reuters reported.
Berlin police officers said they detained the two men, aged 36 and
49, after they were seen striking the Nazi-era pose and photographing
each other with their mobile phones.
They face charges for "using symbols of illegal organizations",
police said in a statement quoted by Reuters. They were released after
posting bail of 500 euros each.
Germany has strict laws on hate speech and symbols linked to Hitler and the Nazis.
