西班牙牧师库斯托迪奥·巴列斯特神父被马拉加法院宣判无罪,罪名是2016年一篇批评激进伊斯兰教和质疑基督教与穆斯林对话的文章引发的仇恨言论指控。
A Spanish priest, Father Custodio Ballester, was acquitted by a Málaga court of hate speech charges stemming from a 2016 article criticizing radical Islam and questioning Christian-Muslim dialogue.
法院裁定,他的评论虽然有争议,但由于缺少必要内容,不符合仇恨言论的法律定义。
The court ruled his remarks, though controversial, did not meet the legal definition of hate speech due to missing required elements.
巴列斯特辩称,他的评论反映了穆斯林占多数的国家的基督教迫害,是一项道德义务,他说检察官计划提出上诉。
Ballester, who argued his comments reflected Christian persecution in Muslim-major countries and were a moral duty, said prosecutors plan to appeal.
Ballester警告说,基于信仰的批评日益被定为犯罪。
The case highlights growing tensions over free speech and religious criticism in Spain, with Ballester warning that faith-based criticism is increasingly being criminalized.
