The United Nations has defended far-left extremist group Antifa and other similar organizations, telling the United States that its experts were profoundly concerned over U.S. Attorney General William Barr’s characterization of Antifa members as “domestic terrorists.”

The United Nations Office in Geneva on Friday shared an image of Antifa’s flag on its official Twitter account, saying that its experts “express profound concern over a recent statement by the U.S. Attorney-General describing #Antifa and other anti-fascist activists as domestic terrorists.”
