| Canada: Holocaust denier a state security threat |
| 2004-09-30 |
| Sep. 30th, 2004 By JPOST.COM STAFF Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel has lost another bid to challenge the federal government's claim that he's a security threat, Canada's National Post reported Thursday. The Supreme Court of Canada refused Thursday to hear Zundel's argument that he's being treated unfairly because some of the evidence against him remains secret, and ruled that Zundel is involved in terrorists activity and is a security threat to Canada. Ottawa filed court papers last year saying Zundel, a German national, was a threat to engage in terrorism or other violence and should be deported. The so-called security certificate is based on secret intelligence, some of which has been shared with a Federal Court judge but hasn't been made public, the National Post reported. Zundel wanted to force the government to hand over the whole file. Zundel is slated to be brought to trial in Germany for neo-Nazi activity and Holocaust denial, Israel Radio reported. Zundel has disseminated neo-Nazi material for over three decades, and has recently made use of the Internet to further promote his ideas. Zundel remains in custody while the deportation case against him continues. |
