International Holocaust study group formed

TEHRAN — In the wake of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call for an independent investigation of the so-called Holocaust, an interim committee has been formed to study Jewish allegations.

General secretary of the new group, the International Holocaust Research Committee, is Dr. Mohammad Ali Ramin. Named to serve with him are a number of academics and historical revisionists, including Dr. Christian Lindtner of Denmark, Lady Michele Renouf of the United Kingdom, Bernhard Schaub of Switzerland, Dr. Serge Thion of France, and Dr. Fredrick Töben of the Adelaide Institute in Australia.

The committee has been assigned a threefold purpose:

1. to constitute an objective, impartial truth-seeking body to investigate Holocaust extermination claims;
2. to establish an international justice commission for determining penalties to be imposed upon those found guilty of perpetrating the "Holocaust" accusation, should it be proved to be false, to determine those reparations to be paid to any unjustly accused, as well as to determine the form of punishment for those found guilty of false accusation; and
3. to prepare the next international Holocaust review conference.
