Then why is there a prosecution moving forward for insulting a political leader and a specific law which applies only to insulting foreign political leaders?
- bayesian_horse 11y agoBecause 1) there is a special law against defamation of a foreign nation's representatives and 2) there is no specific exception written into any applicable law, but courts have consistently ruled this way because of freedom of speech etc It is expected that there will be no punishment in this case.
