Holocaust denier to get out of prison
- Share via
British author David Irving, imprisoned for 13 months on charges of denying the Holocaust, will be released to serve the rest of his three-year sentence on probation, and the government prepared to deport him.
A Vienna court granted an appeal filed by Irving, said Anton Sumerauer, a court spokesman.
Irving, 68, was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment under a 1992 law that applies to “whoever denies, grossly plays down, approves or tries to excuse” the Holocaust.
