ANI Berlin [Germany]

The German Police have arrested two Chinese tourists for making illegal Hitler salutes in front of the Reichstag building housing the German parliament, local media reported.

Two men, aged 36 and 49, were seen striking the Nazi-era pose and photographing each other with their mobile phones in a country, which has strict laws on hate speech and symbols linked to Hitler and the Nazis, who ruled between 1933 and 1945

After this, charges for "using symbols of illegal organisations" were slapped against them.

They were released after posting bail of €500 (£450) each.
