Obedience to the Court is not Optional

HOLOCAUST denier Fredrick Toben has been taken into custody to serve a three-month jail term over publishing offensive material on the internet.

The 64-year-old was taken from the Federal Court in Adelaide by Australian Federal Police today after losing his appeal against his conviction for contempt of court.

In their verdict, the judges said the case before them was not about the holocaust, gas chambers or the execution of Jews during World War II. They said it was about whether or not Toben had complied with orders of the court.
Obedience to the Court is not optional, was final declaration by the Judge.

Toben said what he had on his website is the drop in the ocean what's on the internet.

I must admit I was shocked when I read that he was imprisoned. I suppose to imprison him for exercising his democratic right to free speech (original intention) would not have been politically correct, so contempt of the court. That's one way of getting ya folks**
