National-wide Free Zundel Protests

Feb 5th, 2005

From: Free Zundel Now

Nationwide demonstrations are planned for February 5th, 2005 and this weekend to protest the political kidnapping and illegal detention of Ernst Zundel.

For nearly two years now, Ernst Zundel -- a German-born civil rights activist, writer and publisher -- has been held in solitary confinement in a Canadian prison on the empty pretext that he is "a threat to national security."

Ernst Zundel has spent a lifetime correcting in peaceful ways the unfair characterization of World War II Germans as genocidal maniacs intent on killing people in gas chambers. As such, he has made powerful political enemies who have the ears of obedient politicians.

On February 3, 2003, Zundel was abducted from his home in Tennessee by immigration officials, assisted by local law enforcement officers, and deported to Canada, where he had previously spent 46 years of his life. Since then he has been held in solitary confinement under brutal conditions for more than two years. The goal is to deport this man to Germany where he faces five years in prison for "Holocaust Denial," which is NOT (yet!) a crime in either Canada or the United States.

Zundel is in prison NOT because his views are unpopular, or because he's a "security risk." He's in prison because Jewish groups want him there. He's a prisoner because he promotes views that the Jewish-Zionist lobby considers harmful to its interests.

So blatant is the injustice associated with Zundel's incarceration that even Canada's most prestigious daily papers, the Toronto Globe and Mail and the National Post, have condemned it.

To mark the second anniversary of his detention, friends of Ernst Zundel and supporters of Freedom of Speech are protesting this weekend before various Canadian Consulates in the U.S., as well as in other countries such as Sweden.

What media should know about Ernst Zundel:

• He was living lawfully in the United States as the husband of a U.S. citizen.

• He has no criminal record either in the U.S.A. or Canada. In fact, he was totally cleared in a recent, extensive investigation by the FBI.

• There have been no charges brought against him in Canada. The Government of Canada has not brought forth any witnesses. The evidence against him is not made known to him or to his attorneys.

Ernst Zundel is the victim of a Stalinist Show Trial in a so-called "democratic" country. He has internationally agreed-upon rights enshrined in entities such as the United Nations Declaration of Rights and Freedoms, to which both the United States and Canada are signatories. He is a victim of egregious judicial malpractice. His treatment is an absolute disgrace and brings great shame to Canada.

For further information, please consult the website of the Institute for Historical Review, ihr.org or call its Director and spokesman for the Zundel family, Mark Weber, at 949-631-1490.

Just a quick reminder to everyone participating in the numerous Zundel support protests -- please remember that Ernst is, and always has been a pacifist! While we know the JDL is anything but, and they may well be there to cause as much of a ruckus as they can, let's demonstrate to everyone watching that Zundel's friends have higher standards. We, like Ernst, stand for peace, truth, justice and all the great American ideals. -- Heinz Bartesch, San Francisco organizer.
