French Satirical Newspaper 'Charlie Hebdo' Wins Over Controversial Cartoon
Ban Request
NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Lyon, France, 02/07/2006 - Despite world's
growing protests about drawings of the Prophet Muhammad released by Danish
publishers, French satirical political newspaper Charlie Hebdo wins in court
today Vs French Muslim Council which had requested a ban earlier this week.
As protests are growing in the Arab world over the publication of satirical
Prophet Muhammad published by a Danish editor, French satirical newspaper
Charlie Hebdo which had re-published the drawings and added in-house few
others, won in court over the French Muslim Council that had requested early
this week a ban on the French satirical publication.
Despite world's growing protests about drawings of the Prophet Muhammad
released by Danish publishers, French satirical political newspaper Charlie
Hebdo wins in court today Vs Muslim French Council which had requested a ban
earlier this week.
Controversial drawings were released last September in Denmark and never
raised protests at the time. Iran officials announces the release of
Holocaust Drawings contest by next week.
Court's decision is very much appreciated. "It is a good news for all us -
those who defend the principle to the right to publish satire", says
Philippe Val.
