Spanish court suspends far-right group over alleged hate crimes
A Spanish judge in Gijon has suspended the activities of the far-right group Nucleo Nacional amid an investigation into alleged hate crimes and illegal association, shutting its office and blocking its social media and bank accounts. The ruling came after 14 members were arrested and police seized more than 20 firearms from its Madrid headquarters, ahead of Spain's 29 November general election; the group, whose members call themselves victims of 'persecution and political repression', calls itself a political movement.
