[edit] Information

An Italian judge who refuses to have a crucifix displayed in his courtroom has
been suspended without pay. Judge Luigi Tosti, from Rimini, is appealing
against the decision and says the fascist-era law amounts to religious
discrimination.

He was given a seven-month suspended jail term in December for refusing to work
in a courtroom with a crucifix. Disputes over asserting Italy's ancient
Christian traditions have been making news in the country recently.

The obligatory display of crucifixes in Italian courtrooms and state-run
schools dates back to fascist times 80 years ago, but it is not always strictly
enforced in classrooms. The suspension of Judge Tosti marks the latest twist
in his battle with the authorities.
