Is he presently imprisoned?
I could add some South Africans to the list, although they weren't imprisoned for "Holocaust Denial", there were lawsuits against those that distributed "Did six million really die" and one historian is actually imprisoned now, but was framed for "High Treason".
Alfred Schaefer — Support Détails
UPDATED: Aug 26, 2019 / November 22, 2019
Alfred was sentenced to 38 months imprisonment in Germany, starting from July 2018, for “incitement to hatred“, i.e., for telling the truth about the so-called “Holocaust“, and Organized jewry’s false flag attack on America on 9/11, 2001.
He also faces possibly further charges for making statements in his defense during his trial.
UPDATE: On August 8th, 2019 Alfred was given an additional 18 month sentence for his actions in his original trial. Please see this post for details:
Alfred Schaefer Receives 18 Months Additional Prison Time for Forbidden Speech During the 2018 Trial
Show your support for Alfred by writing (letters and/or cards) to him at the address below.PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND
— There are strict rules on what a prisoner can receive, i.e., letters, cards, postcards, photos, drawings, and stamps are the only permitted items.
— Alfred is receiving sufficient German stamps from supporters in Germany, so no need to send them from abroad.
— You can write anonymously, with no name or address, or use an alias. If you do put a return address, please ensure that it is genuine (if not, then mention that in your letter) so that his reply can get to you.
— Prisoners are only allowed to have 20 cards/postcards and 20 photos at one time in their cell. The rest are put in storage.
— Please write the date on each letter, card, etc. Also number them (letter/card 1, 2, 3, etc.) so that Alfred can see whether he is missing any.
— Do NOT send images of swastikas, or other pro-NS imagery.
— Books, magazines, objects, food, clothing, etc., should NOT be sent as, if even permissible, it involves a long and troublesome procedure to receive such items.
If you can, please try to send a letter or card on a regular basis, say, once a month or so! It’s a real morale boost for prisoners to know that they haven’t been forgotten about. And especially in Alfred’s case, as a political prisoner, it sends a message to the “authorities” that he is not alone in his views. Also don’t feel there’s a need to write anything profound of insightful, as even a simple “Hello” message is fine.
If you have any queries, etc., don’t hesitate to leave them in the Comment section.
Thank you.*****

November 26, 2020 3:07 pm
A notorious French Holocaust denier was jailed for four months by a court in Paris on Wednesday.
51-year-old Vincent Reynouard was convicted for posting a Holocaust denial video on YouTube in May 2017 — a grave offense in France, where the denial of Nazi atrocities has been a crime since 1990.
Reynouard is well-known in Holocaust denial circles in Europe, with a far-right pedigree stretching back to his teenage years. His first conviction came in 1991, after he distributed leaflets that denied the existence of the gas chambers among high school students.
Reynouard also has ties to Catholic fundamentalist groups that deny the Holocaust, including the Society of St. Pius X, which regards Jews as “enemies of the Church.”
More recently, he was sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of 20,000 euros in 2008; one year in prison in 2015; and two months in prison in 2016 — all for Holocaust denial offenses.
Reynouard’s latest conviction follows a 17-month-jail term for his fellow Holocaust denier, Hervé Lalin.
Lalin was jailed in September for a series of antisemitic postings on Facebook and Twitter, as well as for a video he published on YouTube in 2018 — called “The Jews, Incest and Hysteria” — in which he attacked Jews as a “people of incest.”
In a recent analysis of the French far right, the newspaper Liberation identified both Reynouard and Lalin as key members of a network of propagandists dedicated to the denial and distortion of the Holocaust. Other French deniers to have sparked concern include Jerome Bourbon, Alain Soral and Yvan Benedetti.

On the other hand, the activist was released for having challenged, in two videos of May 13 and 14, 2017, the massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane committed by the SS Das Reich division, on June 10, 1944.
The court pointed out that this was a war crime and that "the challenge of such a crime, unlike its apology, is not susceptible of criminal qualification".
The law does indeed distinguish between "crime against humanity" and "war crime" and between "contestation" and "apology".

Ursula Haverbeck sentenced to prison again
Dec 4, 2020
The 92-year-old Ursula Haverbeck has been sentenced to another prison term by a Berlin court. The district court of Berlin-Tiergarten imposed a one-year prison sentence without parole on Friday.
Ursula Haverbeck was sentenced to prison again just a few weeks after her release from prison. The Berlin-Tiergarten District Court imposed a one-year prison sentence on the 92-year-old on Friday. The judge reasoned that she was again guilty of sedition.
The 92-year-old from North Rhine-Westphalia, who did not come to the court to deliver the verdict, is charged with denying the Holocaust in an interview published on the Internet in March 2018....
Ursula Haverbeck: This is how the judge justifies the judgment against the Holocaust denier
December 4, 2020
At the very end of the trial against Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck, the judge in the Berlin-Tiergarten district court quotes Oskar Gröning – the former SS man who was convicted in 2015 at the age of 94 for complicity in murder in 300,000 cases. In the trial before the Lüneburg district court, Holocaust survivors reported about the horror in Auschwitz. Groening also spoke of the gas chambers, of the screams and of an SS man who threw a baby with full force against a truck.
Ursula Haverbeck was among the spectators in the 2015 trial against Gröning. That hasn’t changed anything about their propaganda. The 92-year-old continues to question the murder of millions of Jews. At the time, on the sidelines of the trial, NDR reporters asked Gröning what he was giving to Holocaust deniers. Groening’s answer: “They are irredeemably lost.” It is this sentence that the judge is now quoting in Berlin.
Ursula Haverbeck is also said to be “irredeemably lost”. The old woman doesn’t hear the judge’s sentence that day. On the first day of the trial she was still in the room. But the court has allowed her to stay away from the verdict. So she didn’t have to travel back to Berlin from North Rhine-Westphalia, where she lives. Anyway, it is out of the question that words could have any effect on the notorious Holocaust denier.
In an interview with a YouTuber who calls himself “Volkslehrer” and which he published in March 2018, Haverbeck played down and denied Nazi crimes. In the approximately 15-minute long video, she called for “to work to ensure that this lie, this burden of debt,” which lay on the German people, is “lifted”. Haverbeck denies the industrially organized mass murder of six million Jews. Haverbeck says she never got an answer to the question “where the six million Jews were gassed”.
“I find it unbearable to have to hear such statements,” says the judge in his verdict. “You are a mockery of the victims.” In absentia, the court sentenced Haverbeck to one year imprisonment, without parole, for sedition. The verdict is not yet legally binding.
It is not Haverbeck’s first conviction for sedition. The court does not believe that the 92-year-old will change her behavior either. “I fear that there is a risk of repetitions,” says the judge. But the purpose of punishment is not only to affect the individual, but also to sanction misconduct. The court took Haverbeck’s old age and the associated sensitivity to detention into mitigation.
The public prosecutor’s office had asked for a year and three months’ imprisonment. Haverbeck sells the “Auschwitz lie” as truth and denies the historical fact of the Holocaust.
The defender portrays her as a victim
Defense attorney Wolfram Nahrath presented his client as a victim in his closing lecture. Ursula Haverbeck was “a sensitive, sensitive and intelligent person”. Nahrath asks: “How do people like Frau Haverbeck have to be?” People who made themselves liable to prosecution if they expressed their convictions. These people are forced to remain silent. And that is a situation that makes you sick.
Haverbeck could not deny anything that she did not recognize as fact due to a “profound, firmly established misconception”, said the defense attorney. Nahrath urged the court to “show mercy.” “Isn’t it time to leave this old lady alone?” His client did not know that the “conversation” with the “people’s teacher” should be published. You have therefore not consented to publication. Nahrath requested acquittal.
Ursula Haverbeck knew exactly what she was doing – however, the court found. The interview was not a private conversation with Nikolai Nerling, the self-proclaimed “people’s teacher”. He greeted the audience with “Hello friends”, mentioned that “many” would now see their conversation, and Ursula Haverbeck also spoke into the camera. “The video was intended for publication,” says the judge – and Haverbeck was aware of that.
She wasn’t there, says Haverbeck
Haverbeck’s assertion that she only asked questions, the court exposes as a rhetorical device. From the context it can be seen that her statement that there was no evidence of the murder of millions of times should mean that there was no systematic mass murder.
On the first day of the trial, Haverbeck had said that she could not recognize the Holocaust as a fact because, although she was born during the Nazi era, she had not become an eyewitness to the crimes. She wasn’t there, she said.
“Personally, I have never seen the world from space,” says the judge, “but I know that the world is not flat.”
