Neo-Nazi apologist jailed by French court
A French court has jailed a neo-Nazi apologist for seventeen months over two antisemitic posts online and a third that apparently denied the Holocaust.
Hervé Lalin, also known as Hervé Ryssen, posted the comments between 2017 and 2020 on Facebook and Twitter, and also published a video on YouTube in 2018 titled “The Jews, Incest and Hysteria”.
A book-length work published by Mr Lalin in 2018 and titled “Antisemitism Without Complexity or Taboo” reportedly denied the truth of the Holocaust, which is a criminal offence in France.
Mr Lalin has also been identified by the Liberation newspaper as part of a network of propagandists who promote Holocaust denial.
