Technically it looks like they convicted him of "incitement" (or whatever the German word is). To me that means he was, umm, inciting, I guess, which goes beyond free speech.

A thin line. Probably too thin. I don't much like this either, but if he was over there preaching to some yahoos about the holocaust not being true, I guess you could say he's stirring up trouble and inciting hatred. Maybe even violence.

They are obviously pretty sensitive about this stuff.
