So-called UN expert makes objectionable remarks

Countries should repeal all laws punishing blasphemy and people who leave a faith, the United Nations' so-called top expert on freedom of religion made such highly objectionable and inflammatory remarks on Wednesday, thrusting himself into a debate between many in the Muslim world and the West.

Legislation outlawing apostasy and insults against religious figures could be used to violate the rights of minorities, Heiner Bielefeld argued in a report to the UN Human Rights Council.
