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."
