Italian senators on Wednesday approved a bill criminalizing the denial of the Holocaust and other genocides, Italian new agency The Local reports.

A total of 234 senators voted for the bill, while eight abstained and three voted against the new law.

Under the law, people will face a three-year sentence for promoting, inciting or committing acts of racial discrimination based in part or entirely on the denial of genocide. Crimes against humanity and war crimes are also covered in the bill, which now needs to pass through Italy’s lower house before it can become law.
