The Crown Prosecution Service has appealed against a High Court judge's decision to overturn the criminal conviction of a man who burned a Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London. Hamit Coskun was initially found guilty of a religiously aggravated public order offence, having shouted "Islam is religion of terrorism" while holding the flaming religious text aloft outside the consulate in February.
