Germany – German court tells holocaust denier he must face trial

The British bishop, Richard Williamson, has denied the charges brought against him and has refused to pay the 12,000 euro ($18,000) fine imposed by the court in the German city of Regensburg.

As a consequence, the court has now summoned the bishop to stand trial, although a spokesman for the court said no date had yet been set.

Williamson, however, will not have to appear in person. He can instead opt to appoint a lawyer to act on his behalf.
