Italy - Two Muslim officials accused of racial hatred against Italian Jews


Two officials of an Islamic organisation in Italy have been accused of inciting racial hatred against Jews.
Following an investigation by anti-terrorist police, Mohamed Nour Dachan, head of the Union of Islamic Communities and Organisations in Italy (UCOII), and Hamza Piccardo, his spokesman and the union’s secretary, have been summoned to a preliminary hearing in Rome.
UCOII published an advertisement in the Italian press last August 19 likening Israeli military operations to Nazi atrocities against the Jews.
The ad, which appeared during the Israeli war on Hezbollah in Lebanon, said: "Yesterday Nazi massacres, today Israeli massacres."
