Is Blasphemy Making a Comeback?

A man’s conviction for burning a Koran in London has campaigners worried we’re sliding back into blasphemy laws—17 years after they were scrapped. He says he fled Turkey for free speech, but now faces charges for religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour. Free speech groups are backing him, warning that prosecuting him could mean the UK is quietly bringing back blasphemy bans. Is this about hate, or is it about protecting free expression? Wild times for freedom of speech in the UK! #FreeSpeech #Blasphemy #UKLaw #Culture
