Is Nazi salutation forbidden in our country?

There is no explicit prohibition in our country, but in Germany, it may be punished for using the symbol of unconstitutional organization. According to German law, Nazi salute is a violation of criminal law, and this kind of law is not limited to Germany. In addition to Germany, in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria, the use of Nazi rituals also violates the criminal law. The Nazi salute was once one of the general hand-raising ceremonies in the United States from 1787 to 1934. Later, due to the Nazi salute, it was changed from President Roosevelt's legislation to other hand-raising ceremonies. Apart from fascism and Nazism, this gesture is prohibited by legislation in many countries. In March 213, a Greek player was banned for life for performing Nazi gestures during the game.
