    Hamit Coskun, who was convicted under the Public Order Act for burning a
    copy of the Quran, has won his appeal against the conviction at
    Southwark Crown Court. Robert Jenrick joined Coskun at the Crown Court
    this morning to show his support, while the Free Speech Union posted on X:

    rCLHad the verdict been allowed to stand, it would have sent a message to religious fundamentalists up and down the country that all they need to
    do to enforce their blasphemy codes is to violently attack the
    blasphemer, thereby making him or her guilty of having caused public
    disorder. Instead, the Crown Court has sent the opposite message rCo that anti-religious protests, however offensive to true believers, must be tolerated.rCY

    A win for free speech and against blasphemy lawrCa
