Court in Finland Rules in Favor of Religious Freedom & Free Speech | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Reaction has continued pouring in, following a major court verdict in favor of religious freedom and free speech. A court in Finland on Wednesday upheld the right to free speech as it dismissed all charges against a former member of the country's parliament who had been charged with hate speech for sharing her views on marriage and sexual ethics. A Lutheran bishop was also cleared. The International Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom who was involved in the case, Lorcan Price, joins to tell us more about what the court said in its ruling and whether this will help other people whose religious beliefs are being questioned. Price shares what the reactions were after the final verdict. He discusses what comes next for the former member of parliament and whether there is any chance she could face another trial or an appeal.
