A Lithuanian court has cleared students carrying swastikas of illegally bearing symbols of Nazism. The judge's ruling that the emblem is merely a sign with an ancient history has caused anger. Critics fear its another step towards the rehabilitation of fascist sympathizers.

  • Great victory for free speech.

  • This "leading political activist" at 2:43 is a radical red, son of an ardent commie, leading a bunch of losers with ca. 0% of political influence. He is by no means a "leading political activist" nor is he a suitable source to seek unprejudiced opinion. Some radical right-wing figure would have presented just as "impartial" point of view as this one did.

  • Look who is talking? Maybe you like to replace it with the Hammer and Sickle? People learn the real history and build onto it, instead onto the propagandized version, no matter who is peddeling it. It sets humanity only up for the spilling of more innocent blood.

  • Please help educate ignorant people that the National Socialist German Workers Party did not call their symbol a "swastika," they called it a Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) because it was a type of cross. German National Socialists did not call themselves "Nazis" & they used their hooked cross to represent crossed S-letters for their name: "socialists." See the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. Compare the SS, NSV, SA & VW (V & W joined for "volkswagen"). Thanks for your video view.

  • @zlodiejus yes, that is Algirdas Paleckis, he has no voice to speak in this matter and his input is of no value. He is trying to inflict a spark of conflict among people.

  • Very good that Lithuanians fight for rehabilitation of Lithuanian ancient heritage!

  • Swastica is not guilty if Hitler wanted to use it.

  • @Ninelon You suck I am not a Nazi and I love the Swastika it is Pagan nationalism.

  • @GBOY69GAY I agree I am a Hindu long live Pagans. Vikings are amazing.

  • @peparde12 Long live Pagan religions they should ban the Islamic and Communist symbols 80 million deaths caused by Muslims and Communists.

  • @ranivaidya Ever heard of Viking religion Ashatru it was similar to Hindusim. 

  • @ToaYeranhu O really what about Islamic symbol Islam killed innocent Serbians and Indian Hindus.
