- Case Summary
Sam Mansour, a Danish bookseller, posted numerous Islamic radical views on his Facebook page, praising terrorism and condoning the acts of al-Qaeda and al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda’s linked-terrorist group operating in Syria and Lebanon. He also communicated his views via email and online distribution of three books. The Eastern High Court in Copenhagen found Mansour guilty of publicly condoning Islamic extremism, inciting terrorism, and expressing anti-Semitism views. The Court sentenced him to 4 years of imprisonment and ordered the revocation of his Danish citizenship upon serving his sentence, the first ever Dane to be revoked of citizenship.
