Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant's remarks constituted genocide denial/racial discrimination under Art. 261bis(4) StGB.
Solution extraite
The statements, viewed in context, clearly conveyed Holocaust denial and thus fulfilled Art. 261bis(4) StGB.
Motifs extraits
The court held that explicit denial is unnecessary; the meaning arises from wording, context, and surrounding circumstances. Praising a convicted Holocaust denier as a fighter for truth and calling the law a support for a historical lie amounted to denial of the Holocaust.
