Actually, he was charged with inciting hatred against a recognizable group but was eventually freed on appeal. I think the problem was that the prosecution could not find anyone who listened to Zundel and didn't already hate the same groups. Hence, no incitement. He is currently fighting to get his Canadian citizenship, (he is a German citizen) while many other people are fighting to prevent this. Zundel believes that returning to Germany would result in imprisonment. It's nice to know that the people we imprison for their views are still willing to go to court to become a Canadian citizen. James Nota: Quebec recently held a referendum on seperation from Canada. Just talk about secession of a state in the U.S., and you'll quickly see which country makes political ideas illegal.
