>>Another example is revisionism of the German holocaust. In this case, the government is fortunately not involved, but there are certain minority groups that would like people to believe that all of these atrocities (or most of them) were simply made up.

>What worries me is that, due to what the French have done, the position of those holocaust-revisionists becomes stronger. They can now give a clear example of a case where 'denial of a so-called genocide' can't simply be called an act of a subversive, dangerous fascist.


IMHO, both these two laws are offending free speach right.

If someone is dumb enough to say/preach publicly that WW2 Holocaust did not happen, then he/she is already severely *punished*. No further action needs to be taken. Except maybe mandatory appointment with shrink.

If however, some credible/knowlegeable historian is able to positively prove ANYTHING about Armenian/Turkey WW1 Case ;
Then he/she should be alowed (wellcome) to do this, without any legal obstacles - weather he is living in France(EU) or Turkey.
