The Lawsuit Against

the Canadian Elite

 

January 19, 1999,

9:30 A.M.

A dramatic development has occurred!

Doug Christie, Ernst Zundel's lead defense attorney, has learned through an article in the Ottawa Citizen, that he, too, has been banned from using the Press Conference Room on Parliament Hill.

In half an hour, between 9:30 AM and 9:45 A.M., Christie will go to Parliament Hill and demand from the Sergeant at Arms a document in writing proving or verifying that he has been banned.

It should be noted that, according to media reports, Christie was banned not by a ruling of Parliament but by the Speaker of the House. It is reported that this was done with the consent of most members of Parliament.

It means that some did not agree.

Christie was not planning to discuss the ban of Ernst Zundel from the precincts of Parliament but the Human Rights Tribunal ruling in the Zundelsite trial in Toronto that TRUTH had been removed as a defense!

Canadian national media are invited to cover this breaking story.

12:10 P.M.

At approximately 10:00 A.M., Dough Christie went to the Parliament Building to hold a press conference, as he had planned. After more than an hour-long wait, during which he was not allowed to go up to the Press Gallery and had to wait in the basement, and during which it seemed impossible to reach somebody in charge of allowing him to enter, he was finally told by a lady named "Heather" who showed up with a bunch of security guards, that the "Zundel ban" of last June was still in force - and that it extended to his attorney as well. The ban preventing him from using the Press Gallery, Doug Christie was informed, was ". . . part of the same resolution."
