French Court Confirms Acquittal Of Charlie-Hebdo Editor Philippe Val



I hadn't even known this was still on the table, but various wire stories all report that a Parisian appeals court on Sunday on Wednesday confirmed the March 2007 acquittal of Charlie-Hebdo editor Philippe Val on charges of insulting Muslims by publishing caricatures of Muhammed in 2006. I had known that the Union of Islamic Organizations had considered an appeal, but I never heard they went ahead with one. Two of the three cartoons in question at that trial were reprints of Jyllands-Posten caricatures.
