Sweden's High Court to Review Pastor's Conviction for Anti-Gay Sermon

Last year, Pentacostal pastor Ake Green was sentenced by a Swedish court to 30 days in jail for preaching a sermon calling homosexuals "a deep cancer tumor on all of society". The court held that the sermon violated Sweden's 2003 hate crimes law. In Febrary 2005, an appeals court reversed the conviction. According to an AP report in today's Washington Post, Sweden's Supreme Court has announced it will now accept the prosecutor's request that it review the case.
