Iran shelters Swiss neo-Nazi
At a time when democratic dissidents are facing ever-harsher repression,
the Iranian state has given asylum to Jürgen Graf, a notorious Holocaust
denier. The author of books such as The Holocaust Swindle, he was convicted
in Switzerland of spreading "racial hatred" and sentenced to 15 months in
jail.
Graf is apparently being treated as a political refugee by the Iranian
state, as well as some of the press. In its Feb. 22 issue, the
English-language TEHRAN TIMES ran a story under the headline "Swiss
Historian Condemned for His Anti-Zionist Stance." That paper has also been
printing a scurrilous series of articles, very likely written by Graf,
entitled "The Auschwitz Conspiracy."
