13 May 2009 2:23 PM
Holocaust revisionist FREDRICK TOBEN has been sentenced to three months jail for ignoring a court order preventing him publishing racist material on the internet.
Found guilty on 24 counts of contempt by the Federal Court in Adelaide .. Justice BRUCE LANDER's sentenced the 65-year-old today but stayed the jail sentence for 14 days pending appeal.
The allegations were brought against Toben by the former president of the Executive Council of Australian jewry .. JEREMY JONES .. in 1996.
Justice LANDER says TOBEN's continued to breach the orders .. including publishing a document on the morning of the penalty hearing scandalising the court.
TOBEN'S lawyer's argued his client should be able to serve the custodial sentence in home detention and requested time to appeal.
TOBEN will reappear in court later this month.
