A man who burned a Koran in a demonstration outside the Turkish consulate has won a landmark blasphemy case at the High Court.
Hamit Coskun, 51, previously succeeded in overturning a conviction for holding up a flaming copy of the holy book and shouting “f---- Islam”, in what he insisted was a political protest.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) appealed against the decision, claiming his actions were criminal and amounted to disorderly conduct.
In a judgment handed down on Friday, Lord Justice Warby and Ms Justice Obi upheld the decision to overturn the conviction.
