Belgium - Two Jailed For Inciting Race Hatred
Belgium - A court sentenced two workers of the Islamic Center to 10 months in jail for inciting race hatred against Jews via the center's website.
The 26-year-old Abdel Rahman Ayachi and the 30-year-old Raphael Gendron are both held responsible for administering the center's website. Besides the jail terms, they were each ordered to pay a fine of 15,000 euros (about 18,000 U.S. dollars) and deposit 2,500 euros into the account of the center for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism.
The anti-racism bureau had lodged a complaint against the Belgian Islamic Center and the monetary sentence is designed to compensate the Jewish community for the damage and insulting remarks.
The two defendants were convicted of denying the Holocaust and inciting race hatred, especially against Jews.
