CARTOON CRISIS: ITALIAN MOSQUES SUE ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS Rome, 14 Feb. (AKI) - Italian mosques will sue media outlets that have displayed cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed after the Italian Union of Islamic Communities (UCOII) launched the proposal on Tuesday. The mosques will take to court Italy's largest circulation paper Corriere della Sera, Turin-daily La Stampa, as well as Milanese-daily Libero and La Padania, the newspaper of anti-immigration Northern League party, UCOII members told Adnkronos International (AKI). The television programmes 'Otto e mezzo' broadcast on the private La 7 channel and 'Controcorrente' shown on Sky's Tg 24 newscast are also being sued. The list was drafted during a meeting called by UCOII in Milan on Sunday to discuss measures to protest against the publication of the cartoons. The Islamic Anti Defamation League (IADL), which is in charge of judicial issues concerning Muslims in Italy, will manage the lawsuits. A toll free number (800115711) has also been set up so that members of the community can seek legal help to sue the papers. "Non-Muslims who feel offended by this episode can also file lawsuits and we will help them," said IADL in a statement. "We will ask for six-figure compensations to donate to organisations helping people in need, such as Unicef and Islamic Relief." On Friday, 24 October, mosques throughout the country will raise funds for the initiative. At the meeting on Sunday UCOII called on mosques to help it defuse a row over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed and vowed to promote initiatives honouring the Prophet. However, it also suggested suing Italian media outlets that published the controversial cartoons. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
