Austria Continues to Hold Wrongfully Imprisoned Author Stephan Templ, says Lawyer Robert Amsterdam
"After years of denials and refusals, Mr. Templ's legal team was finally granted access to view documents which conclusively prove that the Austrian authorities had knowledge of Mr. Templ's aunt," said Robert Amsterdam , an international lawyer with Amsterdam & Partners LLP, which represents Mr. Templ. "It is completely implausible for Austria to claim that Templ concealed the existence of the aunt when the name is mentioned at least six times in documents he himself submitted to the panel."
Mr. Amsterdam says that the Republic of Austria should immediately release Stephan Templ and initiate an investigation. "It's time to end this reprehensible farce. We have a situation here where Austria acknowledges these thefts by the Nazi regime, but then jails the victim of the theft, despite the absence of any damaged party. It is difficult not to see shades of retrograde official anti-Semitism in this case."
