Today, an 87 year old German woman, Ursula Haverbeck (above), was sentenced to 10 months in prison for ‘Holocaust heresy’. Agree with her views or not, she is being punished for having the wrong opinion about an historical event 70 years ago.

Remember after the shootings in Paris, the Je Suis Charlie campaign called for the protection and promotion of freedom of opinion and speech? The people who protested for freedom of speech then are strangely quiet now.
