Freedom of speech, ok, but when does it cross the line. Hang a lifelike doll, burn book revered by millions.
Is there no legal scope to prosecute them for blasphemy, personal persecution, etc.?
gunner current sheet
The blasphemy law was abolished in 1949.
The Freedom of Religion Act was abolished in 1970 because freedom of expression weighs more heavily.
Unlawful persecution means committing several criminal violations against one and the same person.
The burning of the Koran has been investigated for incitement against a ethnic group, but in Sweden you can express strong disrespect for a religion. It is not the same as expressing it to the believers.
