Two young men fined €700 each for Nazi salute in Zadar

Two twenty-year-olds were fined 700 euros each by the Zadar Municipal Court for shouting 'Sieg Heil' and raising their right hand while walking along the coast of King Tomislav in Zadar. The defendants admitted to the offense, expressed regret, and cited alcohol consumption as a mitigating factor. The court relied on police footage and acknowledged their admission of guilt and remorse. The ruling emphasized that 'Sieg Heil' is historically linked to Nazi Germany and is considered a symbol of Nazism, whose use is prohibited. The court also noted their prior convictions for similar offenses as a

Opštinski sud u Zadru kaznio je dvojicu dvadesetogodišnjaka sa po 700 evra zbog nacističkog pozdrava .

Prema optužnici, mladići su na Obali kralja Tomislava u Zadru, prolazeći pored građana, dva puta uzviknuli "Sieg Heil" i tom prilikom podigli desnu ruku, čime su, prema oceni suda, isticali simbole koji predstavljaju nacistički režim, preneo je Zadar list.

Obojica su na sudu priznala prekršaj, izrazila žaljenje zbog svog postupka i navela da su u trenutku incidenta bili pod dejstvom alkohola i da se kaju zbog svog ponašanja.

Sud je, na osnovu njihovog priznanja i policijskog video-snimka, utvrdio da su ostvarena sva obeležja prekršaja iz Zakona o prekršajima protiv javnog reda i mira.

U obrazloženju presude navedeno je da je pozdrav "Sieg Heil" istorijski povezan sa nacističkom Nemačkom i da se danas smatra simbolom nacizma , čija je upotreba zabranjena.

Kao olakšavajuću okolnost sud je uzeo u obzir priznanje i iskazano kajanje okrivljenih, dok je kao otežavajuću okolnost naveo njihovu raniju osuđivanost za istovrsne prekršaje.

Za ovaj prekršaj u Hrvatskoj je predviđena novčana kazna od 700 do 4.000 evra ili kazna zatvora do 30 dana.

Evropski sud za ljudska prava u više presuda ocenio je da govor koji promoviše mržnju ili veliča totalitarne ideologije ne uživa zaštitu slobode izražavanja i da upotreba nacističkih simbola i pozdrava može da bude sankcionisana.
