Bishop attempts to justify holocaust denial
by Sara Levy
A Roman Catholic bishop claims he should not be punished in Germany for denying the holocaust on Swedish television.
British bishop Richard Williamson said he tried to put a block on the Swedish television interview from being broadcast in Germany.
“I tried to prevent my interview with Swedish television from being broadcast in Germany via the internet,” Williamson told German newspaper Der Spiegel.
During the interview in February this year, Williamson said he didn’t believe any Jews were killed in gas chambers during the Second World War.
The interview was conducted shortly before Pope Benedict XVI lifted Williamson’s excommunication from the Catholic Church.
Prosecutors in Germany have accused Williamson of incitement and have applied for an order of punishment against him.
Williamson will discover whether he will be fined when a judge rules on his case next week.
