Tunisian Woman Sentenced to Prison for Quran Joke 😡

In May, Emna Chargui posted a parody of the Quran, titled “Surah Corona,” a silly passage about the COVID-19 pandemic in the style of the Quran. A Tunisian court has sentenced the blogger to six months in prison and a $700 fine for reposting the joke on Facebook. A court spokesman said the sentence was on charges of inciting hate between religions and races. Saying she was a victim of a "repressive law" that curtailed free speech, Amnesty International said the prosecution did not allow Chargui's lawyer to accompany her to court, where she was asked about her religious beliefs and mental condition. Emna plans to appeal the decision.
