its illegal to deny the holocaust in 3 countries in europe. so much for freedom of speech.

You do have freedom of speech but the state also has the right to put conditions on this freedom. In order to maintain security and law and order etc. You do not have an absolute right to say anything about anyone. Hence: Libel; Defamation; Slander and various other laws like the holocaust denial laws that are in place in some nations. If someone makes a gross distortion of fact in a speech or a book about you then I'm sure you would be upset if you had no recourse to seek your character be cleared.

The European Convention on Human Rights covers the subject as follows.

ARTICLE 10

  1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. this right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
  2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or the rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
