/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The by far most famous of the 12 Danish Muhammad
cartoons, Kurt Westergaard's prophet with a bomb in his turban, has
been reprinted to raise money for the international fight for free
speech.
One thousand individually numbered and signed copies of the `Big Mo'
cartoon will be sold for US $ 250 a piece. The proceeds will go to the
International Free Press Society.
Says President of the Free Press Society Lars Hedegaard: ` By
republishing Kurt Westergaard's cartoon we intend to strike a blow at
a level where free speech is actually threatened. And that is not at
the level of the law.'
`Freedom of expression is protected under our constitution and no
politician intends to change that. So the enemies of free speech are
not demanding a constitutional amendment but operate at a more
dangerous and effective level, i.e. by intimidating the private
sphere,' www.internationalfreepresssociety.org cited him as saying.
