Regensburg/Germany - British bishop Richard Williamson's appeal against his German conviction for
HOLOCAUST denial will be held on November 29. Williamson, 70, was found guilty of inciting racial hatred by a court in Regensburg, southern Germany in April and fined 10,000 euros, reduced from an earlier fine of 12,000 euros he had refused to
pay. Williamson said in the television interview aired in January 2009 that only
200,000 to 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps and disputed the existence of the gas
chambers.
The bishop, a member of the Catholic fraternity the Saint Pius X Society , questioned key facts about the
HOLOCAUST in a Swedish television interview recorded in Regensburg in 2008.
He appealed the ruling, and unlike the previous trial, when the fraternity forbade him from attending, he will most likely appear in person at the hearing in Regensburg, his lawyer Matthias Lossmann
said.
