 MANNHEIM,
Germany (AP) — A defence lawyer of far-right activist Ernst Zundel, charged
with denying the Holocaust, was physically carried from the courtroom
Wednesday after defying a ruling banning her from the trial on grounds she
tried to sabotage the proceedings.
Two female police officers had to carry Sylvia Stolz from
the Mannheim courtroom after she refused the judge's order to leave.
"Resistance! The German people are rising up," Stolz shouted
as she was taken from the room.
Some of the scores of supporters of Zundel, a 66-year-old
German deported from Canada, also quit the courtroom. Zundel, who emigrated
to Canada in 1958 and lived in Toronto and Montreal until 2001, has been
standing trial since November on charges of years of anti-Semitic activities
including denying the Holocaust — a crime in Germany — in documents and on
the Internet.
The presiding judge halted the trial on March 9 to ask for
Stolz's removal after she denounced the court as a "tool of foreign
domination" and described the Jews as an "enemy people" in earlier sessions.
