ACOM files complaint against Gisbert for Holocaust denial
Being reported for questioning historical figures is, in theory, a legal matter. In practice, it has become the perfect warning to anyone who dares to challenge the official narrative. The complaint by the Spanish collective ACOM against the lawyer Gisbert for Holocaust denial points in that direction.
The case is not an isolated one. Those who have traveled down the road of historical revisionism know the story of Frederick Toben, prosecuted in Australia, or that of Jerome Brentar, who spent 500,000 dollars of his own money on legal defenses. The judicial machine does not always distinguish between denying a crime and asking questions about the figures.
If the goal was to bury the debate, the result has been the opposite: every complaint turns an unknown into a martyr and the law into a suspect. How many verdicts are needed before someone dares to ask out loud?
