Former KKK leader detained in Prague
PRAGUE (AP) — Former Klan leader David Duke has been detained by police in the Czech Republic on suspicion of denying the Holocaust.
Duke went there at the invitation of neo-Nazis to promote the Czech translation of a book he wrote.
A police spokesman says the book includes a denial of the Holocaust.
The denial is a crime that is punishable by up to three years in Czech prisons.
Charles University in Prague banned a lecture by Duke that had been scheduled today for students taking a course in extremism.
Duke is from Louisiana, and is a former Republican state lawmaker.
