France's government on Wednesday ordered the dissolution of a small black supremacist group that marched through Paris' Jewish quarter this spring making anti-Semitic remarks.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said the behavior of the group, which calls itself Ka Tribe, was shocking and unacceptable.
"Their anti-Semitism has been demonstrated, and the Republic cannot tolerate such activities and behaviors," he said.
Kami Ceba, the group's leader, said the decision was unjust and that members would ignore the government's order to disband.
Ka Tribe staged a provocative march through the main thoroughfare of the French capital's Jewish quarter in May. Police said members made anti-Semitic and intimidating remarks, and an investigation was quickly opened.
Sarkozy ordered the group's Internet site closed soon afterward. On Wednesday, he said the site had shown a chimpanzee wearing a star of David.
"Frankly, that is not what I want for my country and for the Republic," he said. |
