I hope an appeal is possible and successful. This is not an acceptable outcome in a our society.
Op-ed: Today's prosecution of Hamit Coskun for burning a Quran edges dangerously close to a prohibition on blasphemy.
The outcome of this case is a troubling sign for freedom of expression in the UK.

A KC has described the charge against Hamit Coskun, who burnt a copy of the Quran, as “plainly defective on its face”.
Proceeding with the charge would undermine free speech and effectively reintroduce blasphemy laws.
The prosecution should be dropped.
