Re: Orhan Pamuk to stand trial for denigrating (none / 0)
Yes, David Irving's arrest may be cited as the selective application of human rights: I really can't see why holocaust denial is illegal. It is not illegal to maintain that a convicted murderer is innocent. But I don't understand why this is an example of the 'state protecting itself'. How does holocaust denial endanger the state? Because a law has been broken? I don't really get it.
