…when we’ve finished offing ourselves…
(CNN) — Newspapers in Denmark Wednesday reprinted the
controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide
protests two years ago.
The move came one day after Danish authorities arrested three people
who allegedly were plotting a “terror-related assassination” of Kurt
Westergaard, one of the cartoonist behind the drawings.
Berlingske Tidende, one of the newspapers involved in the
republication, said: “We are doing this to document what is at stake in
this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech
that we as a newspaper always will defend,” in comments reported by The
Associated Press.
