Holocaust denial is a particularly sensitive issue in Germany, the former seat of the Nazi regime. The country first outlawed denial movements in 1985, making it a crime to deny the extermination of the Jews. The law was amended in 1994, imposing a fine and a five-year prison sentence on anyone who publicly endorses, denies or plays down the genocide against the Jews.<ref>http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,1833619,00.html</ref> In 2007, the German government spearheaded a movement to ban Holocaust denial throughout the [[European Union]].<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6263103.stm</ref>
