German Court Fine Williamson

The news is past Friday when the German Court ordered and fined the Williamson a lum sum amount of 10,000 euro ($13,980) as he denied the Holocaust.

The Williamson also said that he had paid already a fine of 12000 euro for comments, broadcasting on Swedish Channel in January 2009.

The consensus among historians is that six million Jews were killed by the Nazis and denying the Holocaust is a hate crime in Germany.
At the appeal hearing in Regensburg, southern Germany, Judge Karin Frahm rejected a request from Williamson's lawyer Matthias Lossmann that the fine be nullified. Williamson did not attend.
