Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief
Channel: Ahmed Fathi
Date: 2012-10-25

During the Press Conference held at the UN on Thursday October 25th, 2012 with Heiner Bielefeldt the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief  I had the chance to bring to discuss two of the cases concerning young Egyptians, Albert Saber who is a Coptic Christian imprisoned for almost a year pending trial on accusation of blasphemy because of some remarks he posted on his Facebook account, and the second concerning a 9 year old child who was imprisoned for 4 days on the accusation of condescending religions! My question was based on where does common sense and international law starts and where does it end with regard to age and freedom of expression? Watch the video (6:48 Min) to find what was the Human Rights Expert answer was.
