Court to Hear Complaint of Nazi Collaborator
From Times Wire Reports
The European Court of Human Rights has agreed to hear a complaint by Maurice Papon, a former Vichy official imprisoned for his role in deporting Jews to Nazi death camps during World War II.
The court said this week that it had declared admissible Papon’s complaint that he was denied the right to appeal his 1998 conviction for complicity in crimes against humanity. His other complaints were rejected.
Papon, 91, is serving a 10-year sentence in Paris’ La Sante prison.
