We Are All Lars Hedegaard
Gates of Vienna https://www.legal-project.org/1375/we-are-all-lars-hedegaard Excerpt: As we reported yesterday, after the prosecutor appealed the case to a higher court, Lars Hedegaard's earlier acquittal on "hate speech" charges was reversed, and he was fined 5,000 kroner ($1,000). We'd all like to think that Denmark is still a bastion of free speech, but Mr. Hedegaard's case proves that there is really no Western country left that permits complete freedom of speech. When it comes to speaking out about Islam, all of our supposed democracies inhibit free speech and suppress the truth about the Religion of Peace. The psychologist Nicolai Sennels is leading a group of determined Danes in an initiative to collect enough money to pay Lars Hedegaard's fine, and also to cover the legal costs of appealing his conviction to the Danish Supreme Court or the European Court of Human Rights.
