Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff is an Austrian anti-jihad activist who has had the possibility of a “hate speech” charge hanging over her head since last November.
Her crime? Telling the truth about Islam — quoting the Koran, even! — in a public seminar.Gates of Vienna has been following her case since it first began, chronicling the bureaucratic dance she has faced under the choreography of the Austrian judicial system. See the bottom of this post for links to the full story.
Two days ago the other shoe finally dropped: Elisabeth found out that charges would indeed be filed against her. But the court didn’t bother to inform her or her lawyer: instead the prosecutor’s office leaked the news to the media. Elisabeth learned what was in store for her when it was published in the newspapers.
In solidarity with Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Vlad Tepes has extracted and YouTubed this fine clip from a speech by Christopher Hitchens:
The entire speech is here.
