UK Court Backs Man Who Burned Quran

A man who burned a Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London has won his latest court battle after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) failed in a bid to overturn his acquittal at the High Court.

Hamit Coskun had been cleared of a religiously aggravated public order offence following a prolonged legal dispute stemming from the incident, during which he set fire to the Islamic holy book in public and was subsequently attacked by a knifeman at the scene.
