Aussie Holocaust denier invited to Iran
Dr. Frederick Tobin, who claims there is no possibility Jews were killed in Auschwitz gas chambers, set to visit Tehran to 'testify' that Holocaust never happened
Tobin is presenting “The Auschwitz Model” in which he argues that he visited the place and “could not find the holes from which gas came out of.”
Four years ago, an Australian federal court ordered Tobin to remove claims published on his websites that the Holocaust never happened, saying that the publication is offensive to Australian Jews.
Following the trial of British Holocaust denier David Irving, who was sent by an Austrian court to prison for three years, Tobin’s planned visit to Iran received heavy media coverage in the Australian media and prompted a debate about freedom of expression and the right to deny the Holocaust.
'Holocaust myth' conference
The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced its plan to hold a conference to investigate “the Holocaust myth.” Tobin will lecture at the conference, which will “probe the scientific arguments related to claims of genocide committed by the Nazis against the Jews.”
A group of Israeli citizens is set to file an unprecedented criminal lawsuit in a German court against Ahmadinejad, accusing him of Holocaust denial, harming the memory of Holocaust victims, incitement to hatred, racism, and violation of U.N. conventions and resolutions.
The submission of the lawsuit obligates Germany's chief prosecutor to launch criminal proceedings against the Iranian president.
