<\/a><\/div>\nA German court in Detmold has sentenced Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck to 14 months in prison, after the 89-year-old woman lost her appeal to a prior conviction\u00a0on Tuesday<\/span><\/span>. However, four months were\u00a0shaved off her original conviction of 18 months. Prosecutors wanted the sentence upheld, Haverbeck’s lawyers were seeking exoneration.<\/p>\n The Detmold court had initially\u00a0sentenced Haverbeck to eight months imprisonment\u00a0in September\u00a02016, after she sent a letter to the town’s mayor, Rainer Heller, claiming that Auschwitz was not a concentration camp.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/em>\u00a0Holocaust deniers: Negating history<\/a><\/p>\n Following the trial, the octogenarian handed out pamphlets to journalists, as well as the judge and prosecutor, entitled “Only the truth will set you free,” in which she once again denied the Nazi atrocities. Haverbeck was handed an additional 10-month sentence for the stunt.<\/p>\n Under German law, denying the Holocaust \u2014 in which 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis between 1941 and 1945 \u2014 constitutes incitement of racial hatred and can carry a prison sentence of up to five years.<\/p>\n Haverbeck and her late husband Werner Georg Haverbeck, who was an active member of the Nazi party in the run-up to and during the Second World War, founded a right-wing education center called Collegium Humanum,\u00a0which has been banned since 2008. She has also written for the right-wing magazine\u00a0Stimme des Reiches\u00a0(Voice of the Empire), which she also used to express her views that the Holocaust never took place.<\/p>\n Time still to serve<\/p>\n Haverbeck, from the German town of Vlotho near Bielefeld,\u00a0has been sentenced for similar charges on five other occasions. The most recent,\u00a0in October, saw her\u00a0sentenced to six months in prison<\/a>\u00a0by a district court in Berlin for incitement of racial hatred after she claimed at a public event that the gas chambers and Auschwitz concentration camp “were not real.”<\/p>\n In August\u00a0she was handed a two-year sentence by a regional court in Lower Saxony.<\/p>\n Haverbeck has appealed the\u00a0rulings passed down against her and proceedings in each other case remains ongoing. Haverbeck claims she has been merely been repeating an opinion.<\/p>\n This Tuesday’s appeal verdict is not final, either. Haverbeck’s lawyers intend to take the case to the Higher Regional Court in the town of Hamm, their last chance to challenge the sentence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Ursula Haverbeck, 89, Sentenced to 14 Months in Jail for Heresy \u00a0 The Cultural Marxist globalist elite who hold sway in much of Western politics and who have a hammerlock on the media and academe sneer at Christianity.
