Evidence of one's own senses
In addition to the issue of Turkey's membership of the EU, France has been forced into passing this law so as to remain consistent with their laws which enforce the idea of a WWII holocaust. I believe that the French "holocaust denial" laws even stipulate the specific number of dead Jews in which one must believe in order to remain legally compliant.
We need laws for people to believe that the races are equal, or that X million Ys were killed by Zs, yet we all happily believe that grass is green and the sky is blue without any legislation at all.
I can only speculate as to what distinguishes these evident truths in the latter category from those 'facts' which have only the criminalisation of doubt as the basis of their acceptance.
