Danish Muhammad cartoon reprinted
BBC News https://www.legal-project.org/665/danish-muhammad-cartoon-reprinted Excerpt: Danish newspapers have reprinted one of several caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad which sparked violent protests across the Muslim world in 2005. They say they wanted to show their commitment to freedom of speech after an alleged plot to kill one of the cartoonists behind the drawings. Of three suspects detained over the alleged plot on Tuesday, one - a Danish citizen - was released on Wednesday. The remaining two - Tunisian citizens - are set to be deported without trial. The cartoons were originally published by Jyllands-Posten in September 2005. Danish embassies were attacked around the world and dozens died in riots that followed. Papers defiant Jyllands-Posten and many other major newspapers, including Politiken and Berlingske Tidende, reprinted the caricature in their Wednesday editions. The cartoon depicts Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse. The editors said no-one should feel their life was threatened because of a drawing.
