Go directly to jail

AN Austrian man will spend a year in jail for distributing leaflets denying the Holocaust. The remainder of his three-year sentence was suspended.

The man, identified as Wolfgang F., was convicted Wednesday of circulating leaflets denying that the Nazis used gas chambers to kill Jews during the Holocaust and arguing that the gas chambers at concentration camps had been built after the war.

During the case, the court was cleared after some in attendance expressed sympathy for the defendant. The defense is considering an appeal.
