Lawyer ejected
from neo-Nazi trial in Germany
DPA | 5 April 2006
MANNHEIM, GERMANY - A German neo-Nazi's trial was disrupted anew on
Wednesday
when a far-right female defence lawyer was ejected from the court.
Supporters again filled the courtroom as Ernst Zuendel, 66, appeared on
charges
of incitement to racial hatred for denying the Holocaust, which Zuendel's
books
and website claim never happened.
As the proceedings got under way the judge asked the lawyer - one of six
defending Zeundel - to leave the defence bench because another court had
barred
her from taking part in the proceedings.
When she refused, the judge ordered her eviction and she was carried out of
the
courtroom by police officers.
There was uproar at the trial in February when the judge jailed a member of
the
public for four days for contempt after he shouted a remark that compared
the
judge to a senior Nazi-era judge.
Zuendel has been in detention since his expulsion from Canada in March 2005.
He
had lived in North America since 1958, but as a German national, he can be
charged for offences committed abroad.
