The case for censoring hate: Mark Freiman, an expert on Canadian hate-speech law, defends Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, National Post Published: Wednesday, May 21, 2008
In 2002, Canada’s legal system finally began to catch up with Ernst Zundel. After twice thwarting prosecution under Canada’s Criminal Code, Zundel was tripped up by Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which prohibits using the Internet for purposes of hate propaganda. As he tried to avoid complying with an order to shut down his Internet hate site, Zundel became enmeshed in a chain of events that led finally to a prison cell in Germany.
