US Coptic YouTube filmmaker jailed for one year
US Coptic YouTube filmmaker jailed for one year The California convict who caused global protests by releasing an anti-Muslim YouTube film is going back to prison for a year. The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian, known by several aliases but publicly identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, admitted to several probation violations relating to his 2010 fraud conviction including using fake names. But some are saying the government was breaching his first amendment rights to free speech, using the probation violations as an excuse to prosecute him for the YouTube clip. A father of one of the men killed in the attack on the Benghazi consulate has claimed Hillary Clinton told him the US would "make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted." Even Nakoula #39;s defense lawyer Steve Seiden felt the government used the process to violate his client #39;s rights. The clip "The Innocence of Muslims", which depicted the Prophet Mohammed as a sexual deviant and a fool, caused a global furor in the Muslim world leading to at least 65 deaths and countless anti-US protests. But Nakoula said he is eager to put the ordeal behind him, even though he faces another four years of probation once he is released from prison.From:JewishNewsOneViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:22More inNews Politics
