Good news, but the Islamic controllers will not allow this to stand….
Koran burner wins landmark blasphemy case Overturning of Hamit Coskun’s conviction for religiously aggravated offence upheld in ‘humiliating defeat’ for CPS
A man who burned a Koran in a demonstration outside the Turkish consulate has won a landmark blasphemy case at the High Court.
Hamit Coskun, 51, was convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offence after holding up a flaming copy of the holy book and shouting “f---- Islam”, in what he insisted was a political protest.
He successfully appealed the decision against the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), who had claimed his actions were criminal and amounted to disorderly conduct.
In a judgment handed down on Friday, Lord Justice Warby and Ms Justice Obi upheld the decision to overturn the conviction.
The Free Speech Union (FSU), which supported Mr Coskun throughout proceedings, has now called for Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions, to resign following the “humiliating defeat”.
