Police: Gun ad showing real Islamic State victim not illegal

Police say a Czech gun maker did not break the law by using a genuine image of an Islamic State terrorist standing behind a kneeling prisoner in an orange jump suit in an advertisment. The picture was accompanied by the slogan “With empty hands you can soon be on your knees” and a tag-line that the company Zelený sport had the broadest selection of sub-machine guns in “Christian Europe”. Police had been investigating whether the firm had broken the law with the controversial ad but concluded it had not, Czech Radio reported.
