That makes two legal actions announced today.
Canadian Muslims have sicked the Alberta Human Rights Commission on Western Standard magazine for publishing the Mohammed cartoons. Also today, CNN reports that Danish Muslims are suing Jyllands Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published what must be among the most notorious cartoons in the history of the world. As was the case in Alberta, the suit was intiated after civil authorities refused to lay criminal charges.
A group of 27 Danish Muslim organizations have filed a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper that first published the contentious Prophet Muhammed cartoons, their lawyer said Thursday.
. . .
Michael Christiani Havemann, a lawyer representing the Muslim groups, said lawsuit sought 100,000 kroner ($16,100) in damages from Jyllands-Posten Editor in Chief Carsten Juste and Culture Editor Flemming Rose, who supervised the cartoon project.
The case against Western Standard is being undertaken at taxpayer expense, but the Danish case is apparently on the Muslims’ own dime. Is there no Danish Human Rights Commission willing to take up the fight against the human rights of free speech and free press?
