dismisses Zündel's defence lawyers; public

determined defence arguments] Zündel-Trial Zündel
Trial in Germany Postponed Shortly After
Opening Reuters THE trial of Ernst Zündel, a
prominent German Holocaust
denier deported from Canada earlier this
year, was delayed shortly after it started on
Tuesday [Nov 8] after the judge dismissed
part of his defence team. Zündel, 66 year-old
publisher of works such as "Did six million really
die?", is facing charges of inciting racial hatred
and denying that the Nazis murdered around six
million Jews during World War Two. If convicted, he
faces up to five years in prison. Judge Ulrich
Meinerzhagen ruled that Horst Mahler, a
disbarred lawyer associated with the violent
far-left Red Army Faction in the 1970s who has
since become a supporter of far-right and
anti-Semitic ideas, could not be part of the
defense team. He also dismissed Zuendel's publicly
appointed defender Sylvia Stolz on the
grounds that Mahler's ideas were reflected in her
written submissions to the court. See too: -
