The BBC reports that Information, a Danish newspaper, has published six of the Holocaust cartoons from the Iranian competition. The editor used them to illustrate a story on the Tehran exhibition. He consulted the chief rabbi in Copenhagen before doing so.

At the time of reporting editor has not been imprisoned or threatened with beheading.

Some Muslim organisations in Denmark have voiced their objections, saying that one should not pour scorn on historical fact. However, it is unclear whether they are objecting to the cartoons themselves or their publication.

Meanwhile, the Observer notes that Danish exports have been hard hit by a Muslim boycott following the publication of the Motoons. There has been a 15.5% drop in total exports between February and June, with trade to the Middle East falling by half.
