Ukraine’s SBU security service has charged a high-ranking Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) priest in Ukraine with justifying Russia’s war against Ukraine and inciting religious hatred, SBU announced via Telegram on April 12.
A court in Indonesia has convicted a woman of inciting religious hatred and sentenced her to two years in prison for saying a Muslim prayer and then eating pork — considered forbidden in Islam — on a TikTok video. Lutfiawati, who is also known as Lina Mukherjee and who identifies as Muslim, said a brief prayer phrase that translates to “in the name of God” before eating a crispy pork skin in a video that was published in March and was widely viewed. Indonesia is the largest Muslim-majority country in the world and consuming pork is considered “haram,” or forbidden in Islam.
