Recently it was published that former state representative Dr. David Duke, was released from custody by Czech authorities. The State representative had been accused of violatin the country's Thought crime laws. He had been accused of openly denying the Holocaust." Several protests were made at police headquarters located in Prague and demands for his release from around the world. Fortunately David Duke was released from custody and prosecution was not made. Had Czech officials decided It was worthy of bringing to court, David Duke would have faced upwards to three years in prison for holding the "wrong" opinion about historical events.
It's a sick twisted chain of events when as stupid as it is to openly discredit something as historical as the holocaust, the information that you pass to viewers can be discouraged by fear of imprisonment. One can only hope that this is not one of a series of a chain of events that will lead to the abolishment of our freedom of speech. Hopefully we will not see the threat of wrongful inprisonment based upon jewish history anytime in the future.
