"Free Zundel Now," Free
Speech Supporters Tell McLellan in
Edmonton
EDMONTON. February 5. Two dozen free speech
supporters braved frigid cold to protest outside Deputy Prime Minister Anne
McLelland's constituency office in downtown Edmonton today and bring her
their demands that she intervene and free Canada's most famous political
prisoner, Holocaust skeptic and publisher Ernst Zundel.
McLellan is the minister responsible for border security.
Paul Fromm, the Director of the Canadian
Association for Free Expression and the spokesman for the protest said
Ernst Zundel has been in solitary confinement in the West Toronto Detention
Centre for almost two years. He's being warehoused. He hasn't been charged
or convicted of any crime. His ongoing imprisonment in inhuman conditions,
with the dregs of society is a disgrace."
Ernst Zundel was a landed immigrant in Canada since 1958. He
moved to the U.S. to live with his wife Ingrid Rimland, an American citizen
in 2000. He was kidnapped by American authorities, his wife insists, and
summarily deported for at worst a minor technical violation. Today is the
second anniversary of this deportation. Mr. Zundel, a publisher of numerous
works questioning the Hollywood version of World War, immortalized in such
fictional works as Schindler's List was a highly successful graphic artist
in Canada. He was deported to Canada and promptly arrested as a threat to
national security.
"Ernst Zundel has been an open book in Canada. He is a
pacifist. Yet, the Canadian government, reacting to powerful minority
interests, insist Mr. Zundel is a terrorist. This is utterly bogus,"
Paul Fromm told the protesters gathered around a huge Red Ensign. "If
the authorities had proof of any such actions, they should have charged him.
He's in prison for having his own take on history and trying to rescue the
German people from a 60-year campaign of hate and defamation."
"The Zundel hearings are a blot on Canada's reputation.
They rely on days of secret testimony. Mr. Zundel cannot learn the nature of
the charges against him and, thus, cannot mount a real defence, " Fromm
charged.
