“Can’t. Won’t.” Danes stand firm on apology demands
A group of ten Danish lawmakers, have cancelled a trip to Tehran because the Iranian ambassador asked them to condemn the recent republication of drawings of Mohammed.
17 Danish newspapers reprinted the Turbomb Motoon in their reports of a foiled murder plot against its creator, Kurt Westergaard.
Mette Vestergaard, a member of the parliament’s Foreign Policy Committee, said:
The Iranian ambassador asked the Foreign Policy Committee to condemn the drawings. They can’t and they won’t.
Why won’t our UK politicians stand up for freedom of speech like the Danes do ?
Eveyone should recognise the right of others to express themselves, and that NO ONE has the right to be protected from simply offense.
