An appeal was launched this week against the decision to allow far-right group the National Rebirth of Poland (NOP) to register its apparently racist and homophobic symbols as their official logos.

According to Gazeta Wyborcza, the prosecution made the appeal after last week’s news that the group were granted official use of both its ‘Celtic cross’ and its ‘traffic-sign’ style symbol which features two stickmen having sex with a red line running through the middle.

“In our opinion by allowing this, the District Court in Warsaw has now assured the group legal protection,” said the prosecution earlier in the week.

The case is now in the hands of Warsaw’s Court of Appeal.
