This retraction puts the story from the other day in more perspective. The most recent jailing does not involve pro-life activity, although it does not change the circumstances of Pastor Lerle's previous jailings.

No mainstream media burying here.

The retraction is out in the open.

Oops. Just a slight little error in the reporting.

This is the kind of retraction the NYT could learn something from. If you get something wrong, just say so. Everyone makes mistakes.

I am still suspicious. Did he actually deny that the Holocaust happened, or did someone construe something he said as Holocaust denial by imputing something into the words which weren’t intended? We see enough of that in the US.

.... his current one year imprisonment stemmed solely from holocaust denial and not from comparing abortion to the Nazi holocaust...

Well. That's completely different then.

He's not being jailed for exercising his freedom of speech rights, but for exercising his freedom of spee.... uh..... never mind.

Correction to: German Pastor Sentenced to a Year in Jail for Comparing Abortion to the Nazi Holocaust
