Tunisian given 7 years in prison for posting pictures of Muhammed on Facebook

Egypt isn't the only place where people are jailed for posting pictures of Muhammed on Facebook.

Jabeur Mejri and Ghazi Beji, both from Tunisia, have been sentenced to seven years in prison

for posting cartoons of the prophet Mohammad on Facebook, in a case that has fueled allegations the country’s new Islamist leaders are gagging free speech.

The two men had posted depictions of the prophet naked on the social networking site, the justice ministry said, inflaming sensitivities in a country where Muslim values have taken on a bigger role since a revolution last year [more].
