Czech senators propose to outlaw Nazism and communism 

Two Czech senators have proposed an amendment to the country's criminal law which would outlaw  the Nazi and communist ideologies by explicitly identifying them as movements suppressing the rights of individuals. The senators, from the green party, say that the amendment requires only four words to be added to the current law. The current  article 260 outlawing anyone "who supports or promotes a movement which evidently aims to suppress people's rights and freedoms," would be changed to outlaw anyone "who supports or promotes communism, Nazism or another similar movement evidently suppressing people's rights and freedoms". Although the Constitutional Court rejected a similar effort to declare communism illegal in 1992 as incompatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, the new proposal appears to have the support of the Civic Democrats, who have a majority in the upper house.
