ASSOCIATIONS ANTI-RACIST ASK THE SWISS SEIZE THE GRAND CHAMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
The European Court of Human Rights, sitting in Strasbourg, recently sentenced SWITZERLAND, because a denialist Turkish, Mr. Dogun PERINCEK, who argues that the Armenian Genocide is an “international lie”, had been sentenced to denial. The judgment of 17 December 2013, which is not final, marks a regression of its jurisprudence. (Case FAURISSON and GARAUDY c. FRANCE). All genocides deserve the same attention and the same vigilance. The judgment creates an intolerable discrimination here or texts denounce and condemn.
All signatories to the fight against racism and human rights, committed to respecting the MEMORY associations insist that the Grand Chamber of the ECHR is actually seized by the Swiss authorities, which have the power to that the matter can be considered by both parties.
