Canary Islands
Expel Swede

Madrid (JTA) — The
government of the Canary
Islands has ordered the ex-
pulsion of a Swedish citizen
who is accused of leading a
network there that
distributes Nazi propagan-
da.
Diedlib Felderer is accused
of spreading hate material
throughout Europe from
post office boxes in Arrecife,
on the island of Lanzarote.
The Canary Islands con-
stitute a region of Spain, but
the expulsion order was
made by the islands' local
government.
However, the order could
not be carried out immedi-
ately, as Mr. Felderer's
whereabouts were unknown.
He disappeared after his
activities were denounced
last December by the Simon
Wiesenthal Center, and
local authorities believe he
might have left the island.
Shimon Samuels, the
representative of the
Wiesenthal Center in
Europe and Latin America,
was in Barcelona this week
to participate in a conference
of the United Nations Edu-
cational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization on
"the contribution of re-
ligions to peace."

Mr. Samuels said Mr.
Felderer works through an
organization called
Deutsche Kulturhaus and
uses several false names to
disseminate the material,
which includes Third Reich
publications, films, records
and Nazi paraphernalia.
Mr. Samuels asked the
local authorities to cancel
Mr. Felderer's post office
boxes and bank account in
Las Palmas, the main city of
the islands, on the grounds
that the material could be
considered obscene and
therefore banned interna-
tionally.
Despite a 1991 Constitu-
tional Court ruling that ef-
fected landmark anti-racist
legislation, there is a gap in
Spanish legislation on in-
citement to racial hatred.
In December, Socialist
legislators proposed a reform
in the penal code to in-
troduce "racist motivations"
and "xenophobia" as
elements that would ag-
gravate the charges in
criminal acts.
An early call for elections,
however, has postponed all
proposed legislation, in-
cluding changes in the penal
code.

CJ

French Appeals Court
Decision Due Soon

Paris (JTA) — A French
court of appeals is to decide
next month whether the
French Nazi collaborator
Paul Touvier will stand trial
for crimes against human-
ity.
Mr. Touvier, 78, is charged
with choosing seven Jewish
hostages who were executed
by France's collaborationist
Vichy regime on June 28,
1944, in retaliation for the
assassination by partisans of
the head of Vichy's pro-
paganda department.
The Versailles Court of
Appeals met in a closed ses-
sion last week to deliberate
on the matter, after govern-
ment prosecutor Bernard
Pasturaud urged that Mr.
Touvier be prosecuted.
The court will hand down
its decision on June 2.
Mr. Touvier's lawyer, Jac-
ques Tremolet de Villers,
said his client was being
prosecuted as a scapegoat.

According to his lawyer,
Mr. Touvier did his best to
save a large number of
hostages. By picking "only"
seven to be killed, he sup-
posedly spared the lives of
hundreds of persons, Jews
and non-Jews alike.
Mr. de Villers said Mr.
Touvier's action, by reduc-
ing the number of hostages
to be killed from 100 to 7,
could actually be seen as a
legitimate way to defend the
rest of the hostages.
"Concretely speaking, a
crime was committed, but
there was no criminal inten-
tion," Mr. de Villers said.
Mr. Pasturaud, however,
ridiculed Mr. de Villers'
argument.
As the legal debate went
on inside the court, some 250
people demonstrated outside
the building, demanding
that the judges decide in
favor of bringing Mr.
Touvier to trial.
