Muhammad prophet cartoons have been reprinted in Denmark
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.
