Holocaust denier detained at London's Heathrow airport

German-born Australian national Dr. Gerald Fredrick Toben, 64, was detained at London's Heathrow Airport by the London police extradition unit using an EU arrest warrant issued by German authorities, the United Kingdom's Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday. The founder of the Adelaide Institute, a publication that questions the Holocaust, Toben is accused of publishing material on the internet "of an anti-Semitic and/or revisionist nature" that "denies, approves of or plays down the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis". The arrest warrant alleges that Dr Toben committed the offence in Australia, Germany and other countries. In a disclaimer on his website, Dr Toben writes of his work: "If you wish to begin to doubt the Holocaust-Shoah narrative, you must be prepared for personal sacrifice, must be prepared for marriage and family break-up, loss of career, and go to prison." "This is because Revisionists are, among other things, dismantling a massive multi-billion dollar industry that the Holocaust-Shoah enforcers are defending, as well as the survival of Zionist-racist Israel." In the past Toben has denied that he said the Holocaust was a "lie". He has previously been convicted in Germany of inciting racial hatred. In 2006, he was among a group of Holocaust academics who attended two-day "Review of the Holocaust: global vision" conference organised by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who caused international outrage by describing the Holocaust as a "myth". He is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London.
