Freedom-of-speech protester arrested at Danish embassy

A PROTESTER for freedom of speech yesterday described how he was arrested after attempting to mount a counter-demonstration outside the Danish embassy in London last week.

The man who gave his name only as John was one of two people arrested during last Friday's demonstration, in which placards were brandished demanding the murder of those responsible for cartoons of the prophet Mohammed printed in a Danish newspaper.

Meanwhile, a student who dressed as a suicide bomber during the demonstration against the cartoons was sent back to prison.
