Faurisson to be Tried for Attending Iranian Holocaust Conference
Professor Robert
Faurisson who attended the recent Holocaust Conference in Iran is apparently
the first of the participants that could face legal punishment. French Foreign
Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy who recently warned the French Parliament
of a resurgence of revisionist theories announced that Faurisson might be
brought to court for the comments he made at the "unacceptable" Tehran meeting.
Douste-Blazy told
reports about France's ongoing persecution of Faurisson including his being
dragged into court and even being banned practicing his profession,
teaching at universities for refusing to accept the politically "correct"
version of the Holocaust story. Faurisson has been convicted of violating
France's thought-crimes laws five times.
The conference
was attended by 67 scholars from 30 countries and found "unacceptable" by
the powers in Israel, Europe and the United States. Tehran has been widely
condemned for hosting the conference.
