Dear Friends,
Martin Suter from Kitchener, Ontario sent
me the following message in regards to the Sun's
infamous Serbophobe 'journalist' Eric Margolis and the
latter's latest column in particular.
It seems a worthwhile project in my estimate and I
would appreciate feedback and suggestions.
Thanks,
-------------------------------------
About this particular Margolis column. I'm wondering
if somebody in the Serb community might be willing to
lay charges against Margolis and the Sun newspapers
for running this piece. It would make for an
interesting case. In Canada, we have hate crimes
legislation on the books where it makes it an offence
to publish stories that are intended to provoke discrimination,hatred or
ridicule to visible groups or communities. There is another provision
under the hate crimes act too, that makes it an offence to "spread false
news". This was successfully used a few years ago by some Jewish groups
to convict Ernst Zundell, a neo Nazi leader and holocaust deniar. He
published a book, denying the holocaust, entitled "Did Six Million
Really Die". He was prosecuted by a private citizen for "spreading false
news" and ended up doing jail time and being deported from Canada.
Unlike the U.S, even if the police decline to press charges, a private
citizen can start criminal proceedings on their own. I'd sorely love to
see some Serb-Canadians go after Margolis and the Sun papers for their
lies and if there was ever a case of spreading false news" Margolis'
comments about the "bodies in the mine shaft" in Kosovo and Srebrenica
and Dubrovnik certainly fit the bill. Could you also forward it to any
Serb contacts that you may have in Canada? The Sun really needs to be
taken to task for printing this kind of garbage. mart
