Polish football fans: "Death to the Hooked Noses"

Five Polish football fans have been arrested for displaying antisemitic banners at a match in Rzeszow, southern Poland, two weeks ago:

The banners were unfurled by fans of Resovia Rzeszow during a match Saturday against local rival Stala Rzeszow. One depicted a caricatured man with a large hooked nose wearing a striped yarmulke, a Jewish skullcap, in the blue-and-white colours of the opposing team. Those are also the colours of the Israeli flag and the skullcap's pattern evoked the striped prison garb worn by some prisoners at Auschwitz.

A second large banner read: "Death to the Hooked Noses."

Polish media reported that ahead of the game, fans marched through the city with a banner that said "The Aryan hordes are coming."

Police say in a statement that they detained five Rzeszow residents and charged two of them under a law banning public incitement against ethnic or religious groups.

Poland's football federation also banned Resovia Rzeszow fans from attending the team's games through the end of the season.
