Jyllandsposten acquitted

The Jyllandsposten was acquitted today of violating the libel and racism articles in the Danish penal code. The court in the city of Aarhus found the paper's chief editor Carsten Juste and culture editor Flemming not guilty. The charge was brought by 7 muslim organisations in Denmark after the general attorney Henning Fode would not press charges as public prosecutor against the paper.
