The Federal Swiss government has rejected the appeal of the Swiss Nazi Organization, “National Front”, asking that the decision of the Canton of St. Gallen, prohibiting the importation of their paper “Eiserner Besen” be revoked.

The Federal government, in dismissing the appeal, also confirmed the prohibition order.
