The public prosecution department is appealing against a court ruling which found a Muslim group not guilty of insulting Jews by publishing a cartoon which implied Jews invented the Holocaust.

The court ruled in April the cartoon was in extreme bad taste and was offensive but acquitted the group because of the circumstances surrounding the publication.
The European Arab League, which placed the cartoon on its website, said it was meant to highlight double standards in free speech, following the publication of cartoons featuring Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.
The public prosecution department said it was appealing against the ruling because it wanted to establish what constitutes being ‘unnecessarily offensive’ and whether or not the cartoon contributed to the debate about free speech.
