#ROME, #ITALY--#Italian senators voted this week in favor of a bill criminalizing the denial of the #Holocaust and other #genocides, following changes to the proposed law to protect freedom of speech, Asbarez reported, citing Italian news agency The Local.
The #legislation, which supposes a three-year sentence for promoting, inciting or committing acts of racial discrimination based in part or entirely on the denial of genocide. #Crimesagainsthumanity and #warcrimes are also covered in the bill, which now needs to pass through Italy’s lower house before it can become law.
