Satanic group asks to fly flag at Boston City Hall after supreme court ruling

Salem-based group asks to mark Satanic Appreciation Week in July after city's denial of request by Christian activist ruled illegal

A Satanic temple is requesting to fly a flag over Boston City Hall after the US supreme court this week ruled the city violated the free speech rights of a conservative activist seeking to fly a Christian flag outside the downtown complex.

The Salem-based group on Tuesday tweeted a copy of its request to raise a flag to mark what it termed Satanic Appreciation Week, from 23 to 29 July.
