You can’t cite a diplomat not being punished as an example of a law only applying to German citizens.
Diplomats almost always have extra protections compared to regular residents.
Sorry, on reflection I realize “German citizens and denizens” would be a more accurate grouping. From what I’ve read of the incident, diplomatic immunity was never cited as the reason he wasn’t charged, though I readily admit him being a diplomat makes it an inelegant example. It’s just the main time I remember offhand a non-German in Germany doing Holocaust denial, since people usually don’t do that.
