Five years' jail sought in German Holocaust denial case
AFP Updated: 02/Feb/2007 15:06
BERLIN (AFP)--- German prosecutors demanded a five-year jail sentencefor one of the most high-profile figures in the Holocaust denial movement, Ernst Zuendel, in closing arguments at his trial.
Zuendel, a 67-year-old German citizen, stands accused of inciting racial hatred for disputing the historical fact that Nazi Germany systematically slaughtered six million European Jews during World War II.
"We must save Germany from political rat catchers like you," the state prosecutor told the regional court in Mannheim, southwestern Germany.
German authorities say Zuendel operated a website from Canada on which he expressed anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi views and presented "revisionist" history.
Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany and if convicted, Zuendel faces up to five years in jail.
He left Germany for Canada at the age of 19 but was deported in March 2005 on a German arrest warrant.
The trial began almost a year ago but has run into several legal hurdles.
Germany, which holds the rotating European Union presidency until July, announced plans this month to promote making Holocaust denial punishable by law in every member state of the bloc.
In a recent high-profile case, controversial British historian David Irving spent 13 months in jail in Austria for questioning the Holocaust before being released last month.
