A Brazilian judge has banned a group from parading in the Rio carnival with a float depicting the victims of the Holocaust and a Hitler figure.
The judge issued the injunction after a lawsuit brought by the Jewish Federation of Rio de Janeiro, Fierj.
She said the samba group could still parade but must remove mannequins meant to represent dead bodies.
But legal decisions in Brazil are often overturned and it is still not clear if an appeal will be launched.
Rio's carnival gets under way properly on Sunday when the main samba schools begin their musical parades.
"Carnival should not be used as an instrument of hatred, any kind of racism and clear trivialisation of barbaric and unjustified acts against minorities," Judge Juliana Kalichszteim said as she issued her injunction.
