An Australian Christian pastor has had his 'religious hatred' conviction overturned on appeal. In 2004 Daniel Scot was held to have broken the State of Victoria's Religious Tolerance Act because he criticised fundamentalist Islam.
But now judges at the Supreme Court in the State of Victoria, Australia, have overturned the conviction because of errors made and misrepresentation by the original trial judge. A retrial has been ordered.
