Blasphemy laws repealed in Denmark

On June 2, the Danish parliament (“Folketinget”) repealed the 334 year old blasphemy law.

The debates about repeal where among other things shadowed by the Muhammad cartoons controversy in 2005, and also came to the rescue for one individual who in December 2015 published a video on-line showing the burning of a copy of the Quran. These charges were now dropped due to the change in legislation.
