Austrian Politician Given Suspended Sentence for Holocaust Remarks
Associated Press
A former Austrian politician on Wednesday received a suspended
one-year prison sentence for denying aspects of the Holocaust. ... He
pleaded not guilty to charges that he broke a law that bans attempts
to diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust by questioning the
existence of gas chambers. John Gudenus, a former legislator in
Austria's upper house of parliament, declared in an Austrian
television interview in April 2005 that the existence of gas chambers
in the Third Reich should be "seriously debated."

Varela's 1998 'Thought Crime' Sentence
Institute for Historical Review
A Spanish court has sentenced Pedro Varela, a Barcelona book dealer,
to five years imprisonment for "incitement to racial hatred" and for
"denying or justifying genocide." The sentence, handed down on
November 16, 1998, is Spain's first conviction for "Holocaust denial."
It is based on the country's 1995 anti-genocide and anti-
discrimination law, which effectively creates a new class of
"criminal" books.
