European Court: Holocaust Denial Is Not a Human Right
(Bloomberg) Hugo Miller - The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that denying the Holocaust ever happened isn't a form of freedom of expression protected under the European Human Rights Convention. The court ruled that Udo Pastoers, a German who suggested in a 2010 speech that the Holocaust never occurred, was fairly convicted under the country's laws against the intentional defamation of Jewish people, given that he "had intentionally stated untruths in order to defame the Jews."
