The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has deemed the “quenelle” gesture popularised by French comedian Dieudonné M'bala M'bala to signify racist behaviour.
A young man who was photographed using it in front of a Geneva synagogue, along with two companions, was pronounced guilty of racial discrimination by the country’s highest court.
A photograph of three young men, including one in military uniform, performing the “quenelle” salute in front of a synagogue in Geneva was published in the 20 Minutes paper in 2013. Geneva’s public prosecutor filed criminal charges against them in 2015, resulting in a suspended sentence and a fine that two of the trio accepted.
