After his deportation from the US to Canada, Zündel has fought to stop Canada from deporting him to Germany where he faces prosecution for his neo-**** and Holocaust-denying activities. Zündel’s latest move has been to challenge the constitutionality of the Canadian immigration law under whose provisions he is being processed.

--Since the late 1970s, Ernst Zundel has run Samisdat Publishers, one
of the largest distributors of **** and neo-**** propaganda and
memorabilia in the world. He is also the inspiration for and key
content provider of http://www.zundelsite.org , since 1995 a leading online
repository of Holocaust-denial propaganda. His activities have led
to numerous trials in Canada and made him subject to probable
arrest should he ever attempt to return to Germany. Adept at
attracting media attention, Zundel has usually relished his legal
battles with what he calls the "Holocaust industry." Recently,
after several important legal defeats, he married his Webmaster,
Ingrid Rimland, and moved to Tennessee.
--No, we shouldn't.Since we're into interesting observations I just thought of
historic 'trolls' to add to the list. The most famous of which must
be Jesus who was banned for trolling quite a bit. Can't recall
precisely if Galileo was banned in the same sense but he was at
least put up for it. I'm sure you can think of others.
Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions on unpopular views.
Just like Galileo was banned and persecuted for his unpopular
views, today we're seeing a similar phenomenon with Ernst Zundel,
who has been imprisoned in Canada.
"Ernst Zundel is being held in solitary confinement solely for the
non-violent expression of his political views.”
"Zundel — who did this country a favour by wiping off the books our
- Canadian Association for Free Expression (CAFE)
disgraceful False News laws — has never once been convicted of a
criminal offence in this country, never once found to have violated
the hate crime laws that rest snugly around the throat of free
expression in this country."
