Jyllands-Posten won’t face charges

From The Times: Danish chief prosecutor Henning Fode has said that he will not press charges against Jyllands-Posten. The Mo-toons did not violate Danish laws banning racist and blasphemous speech.

This will be a disappointment for the group of Muslims who failed first of all to get a conviction from a regional prosecutor then took the case to the country’s top prosecutor.

The Foreign Ministry has warned Danes travelling in Muslim countries that “negative reactions” may ensue as a result of this decision.

UPDATE: Danish Muslim organisations are now taking the case to the UN High Commission for Human Rights.
