German court fines Holocaust-denying bishop

None

A German court has fined traditionalist bishop Richard Williamson12,000 euros ($17,860) for incitement because he publicly denied the Holocaust, a spokesman for a Nuremberg court said on Tuesday.

 

The Bavarian court had on Monday approved a request from state prosecutors in Regensburg for the fine but British-born Williamson has two weeks to contest the ruling. (Reuters)
