Saudi lawyer seeks apology over Danish Mohammed row
by AFP https://www.legal-project.org/445/saudi-lawyer-seeks-apology-over-danish-mohammed Excerpt: COPENHAGEN - A Saudi lawyer has demanded a public apology from a number of Danish dailies that reprinted a controversial cartoon of Prophet Mohammed in February 2008, Danish media reported on Sunday. The lawyer, identified as Faisal A.Z. Yamani from Jeddah, sent an email to the newspapers that republished the drawing first printed in 2005 and demanded that they print an apology by the end of September, Danish news agency Ritzau reported. "It should be a clear, public and unconditional apology for the offence and harm caused by their newspaper," Yamani wrote, demanding that the statement appear in the first three pages of the newspaper and in four languages, Danish, French, English and Arabic. The caricature features Prophet Mohammed's head with a turban designed to look like a bomb with a lit fuse. It was one of 12 cartoons first published in a Danish newspaper in 2005 and which sparked violent protests across the Muslim world in early 2006. Read the complete original version of this item...
