Thread Name: BS: David Irving goes to prison.
Subject: RE: BS: David Irving goes to prison.
I am not clear that the Austrian law contains any necessity of deliberate falsehood, ie lying. I thought it was a crime to deny the Holocaust, whether or not you believe your denial to be the truth. I find such a law troublesome as a matter of principle. I also find any prosecution for a crime 17 years old to need very clear justification.
