Revisionist Zundel arrested in US
Holocaust revisionist Ernst Zundel has been arrested by US officials, apparently for missing an immigration hearing in May 2001. Zundel left Canada for the US after the Canadian Human Rights Commission ordered him to shut down his anti-Semitic web site.
Officials with the Blount County, Tennessee, sheriff's department yesterday confirmed Mr. Zundel has been in their jail since his arrest Feb. 5. "We're housing him for the INS," said spokeswoman Marion O'briant. An INS spokeswoman in New Orleans, Sarah Mouw, said privacy laws prevented her from discussing Mr. Zundel's case in depth. "He's in our custody because he's not in a legal immigration status," she said. - Ottawa Citizen, Zundel arrested in U.S. on immigration charge.Zundel's wife has posted an account of his arrest here.
