SWISS PROSECUTOR ASKS 6 MONTHS FOR PERINCEK OVER 'GENOCIDE' DENIAL
The New Anatolian, Turkey
May 2 2006
A Swiss prosecutor yesterday requested six months in prison for
Turkish Workers Party (IP) leader Dogu Perincek for his denial of
the Armenian genocide claims in a speech delivered in Winterthur,
Switzerland last year.
The prosecutor claimed that the speech Perincek made while denying
the genocide claims was "racist."
Swiss law stipulates that those who deny, underestimate or support
genocide or other crimes against humanity are liable to fines or
imprisonment.
Following his statements in Winterthur, Perincek was detained last
July 23 and after testifying he was released.
