Pakistan Asks EU to Drop Free Expression
Pakistan is sending a delegation to ask the European Union countries to amend laws regarding freedom of expression in order to prevent offensive statements such as the printing of caricatures of Muhammad and a film by a Dutch legislator. The delegation will point out that the recent attack on the Danish Embassy in Pakistan could be a reaction against free expression. If the EU will not comply, the delegation would also tell the EU that more attacks on the EU diplomatic missions abroad could not be ruled out. Let's see if the EU will cave in on the whole free expression thing if they will not be attacked any more for at least that reason.
