A man who claims accounts of the Holocaust are "exaggerated" and
describes Anne Frank's diary as "evil" has been convicted of putting
articles on the internet that could stir up race hate. A jury at Leeds
Crown Court yesterday found Simon Sheppard, 51, guilty of nine counts
of publishing racially inflammatory written material on his website
between March 2005 and April 2006. The court heard Sheppard's website
attracts 4,000 visitors a day. Four of the articles were penned by
Stephen Whittle, 41, who was yesterday convicted of four counts of
publishing racially inflammatory written material.
