Swedish pastor sentenced to one month's jail for offending homosexuals
A Swedish court has sentenced a pastor belonging to the Pentecostal movement in Sweden, Ake Green, to a month in prison, under a law against incitement, after he was found guilty of having offended homosexuals in a sermon.
Soren Andersson, the president of the Swedish federation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights (RFSL), said on hearing the sentence that religious freedom could never be used as a reason to offend people.
"Therefore," he told journalists,
"I cannot regard the sentence as an act of interference with freedom
of religion." During a sermon in 2003, Green described homosexuality
as "abnormal, a horrible cancerous tumour in the body of society".
