Copenhagen: A Danish press freedom group on Sunday said it has invited a Dutch lawmaker to talk about an anti-Quran film he made that sparked street protests in Muslim countries earlier this year.
Geert Wilders will appear in Copenhagen on June 1 to talk about the movie and share his thoughts on free speech, said The Free Press Society of 2004. Lars Hedegaard, president of the society, said the invitation to Wilders should not be viewed as a provocation against the Muslim world, but rather as a way to address the debate on the right to speak freely.
