Greece cuts state funds for far-right Golden Dawn party

The Greek parliament has voted overwhelmingly to suspend state funding for the far-right Golden Dawn party.

The new law allows an indefinite funding freeze for parties whose leadership is charged with involvement in a criminal group or terrorism.

Golden Dawn's leader and two MPs are in custody awaiting trial on charges of being part of a criminal organisation.

Their arrests follow the murder of an anti-fascist musician, allegedly by a supporter of the party.
