Rights violation: Chinese tourists detained for giving Nazi salute in Berlin

The Reichstag is a magnet for tourists because it brims with German history. The meeting place of the Imperial Diet, it was torched in 1933 in a calamity that quickened Hitler’s rise and wasn’t reconstructed until after reunification more than half a century later.

On Saturday, according to police, two Chinese tourists standing outside the building began giving Nazi salutes. They were briefly detained, accused of violating a German law that seeks to keep the Reichstag’s darkest chapter from repeating itself.

The salute — with the right arm straight and angled slightly up, palm down — was used as a greeting and a way of expressing devotion to Adolf Hitler under the Third Reich. The German Constitution, approved after World War II, makes it a criminal offense, along with Holocaust denial and other symbols and signals associated with the Nazis.
