On Saturday the 7th of July Nationalsocialistisk front (NSF), "National Socialist Front", held a protest demonstration outside the German embassy in Stockholm, demanding the release of historian and publicist Ernst Zündel. Ernst Zündel is imprisoned in Germany where he's serving a 5-year sentence, which was also preceded by 4 years in custody while waiting for his trial.(*) The crime committed justifying such a harsh punishment is Ernst Zündel having published books presenting new scientific evidence regarding certain events of the Second World War.(**)

Despite bad weather and oppression from the police, the demonstration assembled just under 200 friends of free speech.

By 2pm the procession of demonstrators began marching, lined up in columns with banners in the front, from the gathering point at Östermalmstorg towards the German embassy, with chorus shouting "FREE ZÜNDEL - MARTYR FOR THE TRUTH". Many curious pedestrians stopped along the route to watch the march.

When arriving outside the German embassy the police had sealed off the area with a fence and a large number of police where present. The standard-bearers lined up before the fence, while a public address system was set up, making sure no one in the vicinity would miss what was going on.

Three international representants were present during the demonstration, from Denmarks National Socialist Movement (DNSB), Nordisches Hilfswerk, and Russian National Unity (RNU). Together with leaders from NSF they walked past the police fence, to deliver a written protest to the German Embassy, demanding Ernst Zündels release.

The first speaker to then adress the public was Daniel Höglund, from Nationalsocialistisk front (NSF). Daniel spoke of how the Swedish "hate speech" law is used only to silence the national opposition in Sweden and the many juridical outrages Ernst Zündel suffered from American, Canadian and German goverments. He also spoke about how historical revisionism gains more and more influence despite the authorities witch-hunt on those who dare speak the truth.

Next was the representative from DNSB, Torben Have, who described how a certain ethnic group always seems to stand above laws which apply to other ethnic groups. He also spoke about how this same ethnic minority controls a disproportionate part of the media in the western world.

The last speecher was Stephan Günther, from Nordisches Hilfswerk in Germany, an organisation that's working to strengthen the bonds between German and Nordic nationalists. Günther spoke about the extremely difficult situation German nationalist are presented with, and described how the authorities through juridical terror and persecution are trying to silence the growing national opposition.

The demonstration marked the end of a campaign called "Free Speech is threatened" that NSF has held since three months back. During the campaign close to 400 000 leaflets have been spread all around Sweden and public meetings have been held, all to enlighten the masses of how so-called "free speech" [is manifested] in reality, and how the democratic government persecutes and imprisons nationalists who do not conform to the opinion approved by the state.

* This is a mistake. Ernst Zundel has been sentenced for five years, in addition to the two years served in a Canadian prison.

** He did not publish "books". He published a booklet, written by one Richard Harwood, titled "Did Six Million Really Die?" and a 4-page pamphlet Ernst himself authored, called "The West, War, and Islam." These two publications unleashed a legal persecution now well into its third decade which, in the last four years alone, has landed him in five prisons on two continents.]
