Publishers, writers welcome acquittal on appeal of
author in Greek blasphemy case

On 13 April 2005, in a famous blasphemy case, the
Court of Appeal of Athens, reversing the judgment of
the Court of First Instance, acquitted the author of
The Life of Jesus, Mr. Gerhard Haderer. It also
ordered the return of the confiscated books to Oxy
Publishing S.A, the Greek publisher of The Life of
Jesus. The IPA and International PEN welcome Haderer's
acquittal, which it had called for.

Gerhard Haderer was tried alongside his Greek
publisher, and four booksellers, on charges of
blasphemy. The trial started in December 2003, and had
temporarily concluded in first instance, on 18 January
2005, with the conviction of Haderer to a six-month
suspended sentence and the acquittal of the publisher
and booksellers.

The Life of Jesus is an illustrated book with humorous
intent. The Greek courts had initially considered its
depiction of Jesus as a hippie as defamation and
ridicule. The book has been published in a number of
other countries without controversy or judicial
action.

Karin Clark, Chair of the Writers in Prison Committee
of International PEN, says: "The decision of the Court
of First Instance flew in the face of international
standards, guaranteeing freedom of expression and to
which the Greek government has pledged its commitment.
Under those circumstances, we welcome the acquittal of
author Gerhard Haderer."

Lars Grahn, Chair of the Freedom to Publish Committee
of the International Publishers' Association, adds:
"The Life of Jesus is back on Greek bookshelves. This
is a most welcome development, which shows Greece's
commitment to Freedom of Expression."
