CST condemns alleged neo-Nazi attack on Spurs fans in France

 
CST is deeply concerned by reports that violent thugs made Nazi salutes when attacking fans of Tottenham Hotspur in France last night.

This follows similar violence directed at Spurs fans in Rome in November.

It is clearly unacceptable for football fans to be met with antisemitism and racism when following their team and we expect all the relevant authorities to treat this latest incident with the utmost seriousness.

We welcome the news that arrests have been made by French police following last night's violence and we hope that investigations will continue to see if further arrests can be made.

CST will continue to work with the football authorities and anti-racist groups to reduce the amount of antisemitism and racism affecting football fans and players at all levels of the game. As we wrote after the attack in Rome, it is time for action.
