When a country makes even discussing history a crime then those who
believe in freedom of speech should not be quiet.

Then you should speak to the French because their parliament voted to
make denying it was genocide a crime and in 1990 they made it a crime
to deny the Jewish Holocaust.

Might want to speak to the Swiss too because they apparently also
passed a law making it illegal.

Seems the E.U. has a case of pot-kettle-pot=kettle.

Where is the restriction on ** discussing ** the holocaust ?
