N9S hold Free Irving Demonstration
Comrades from the November 9th Society held a successful
demonstration
outside the Austrian Embassy, London, on February 21st to demand the
freeing of British historian David Irving from the scandalous three
year prison sentence he received in Austria for having a differing view
on the Holohoax to the Zionist stooges that control Austria today.
N9S Leader Kevin Quinn was interviewed by the media and a short film of
the demonstration can be seen here.
A N9S Statement included the following:
Holocaust Denial Laws are an
infringement of our human rights
David
Irving, the British historian, was arrested in Austria on November 11
for a 16-year-old violation of that country’s “Holocaust denial”
statute. He has now been sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Irving's now meagre lifestyle behind bars, presumably as a warning to
anyone else daring to speak out against their ridiculous Holohoax
propaganda.

Prosecutors
appeal to have Irving's jail term increased
By Roger Boyes in Vienna, Fran
Yeoman and Michael Horsnell
AUSTRIAN prosecutors dismissed
the three-year jail sentence imposed on the disgraced historian David
Irving as too lenient yesterday and filed an appeal for it to be
extended.
Walter Geyer, a spokesman for
the public prosecutor’s office in Vienna, said that he believed the
jail term to be inadequate in the light of a possible maximum sentence
of ten years and Irving’s iconic importance to right-wing extremists.
The move coincided with an
appeal for a reduction in the sentence by lawyers for the historian,
who pleaded guilty on Monday to denying the Holocaust, a crime in
Austria, in two speeches there in 1989.
During the day-long trial
Irving, 67, insisted he had undergone a change of heart and that he now
acknowledged the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis. He also
acknowledged that he had erred in contending that there were no gas
chambers at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Elmar Kresbach, Irving’s
lawyer, told reporters that his client, who has been in custody since
November, would probably not serve the full three-year term because of
various factors, including his age.
Irving has written many books,
including Hitler’s War, which challenges the extent of the Holocaust.
He has contended that most of those who died in concentration camps
succumbed to diseases such as typhus.
In London yesterday, members of Britain’s neo-Nazi party, the November
9 Society, protested against the jailing outside the Austrian Embassy.
A handful of activists, one wearing swastika badges, erected a banner
stating: “Holocaust denial is not a crime.”
Kevin Quinn, leader of N9S, said: “We believe that all Europeans should
be allowed to express our opinions. If we can mock Muhammad how come we
can’t ask how many Jews died in the Second World War? If the Austrians
don’t want to give people free speech, then we don’t want them in the
EU.”
Steve Blake, editor of the BNP’s website, wrote: “It is beyond belief
that a British pensioner faces three years banged up in an Austrian
jail for making a speech 17 years ago in that country, during which he
offered an alternative opinion about one particular aspect of European
history.
“No other episode in history
has such legal protection and it behoves the Jewish community in each
and every European nation where such a bizarre law exists to help bring
about the end of this singularity.”
Andrew Kaufman, chairman of
the Association of Jewish Refugees, which represents survivors of
Nazism living in Britain, welcomed the sentence. He pointed out that
Irving’s purpose in Austria was to meet neo-Nazi activists. He was also
on his way to Tehran to participate in a conference promoting Holocaust
denial organised by the Iranian Government.
He said: “Mr Irving has a long
track record of anti-Semitic agitation and as a falsifier of historical
evidence to suit his political ends. Without convicting Holocaust
deniers like Irving, the world cannot send a clear message that the
perversion of history in this way is both unacceptable in a progressive
society and offensive to Nazi victims and their families.”
