The Governor of Jakarta is starting a 2 year jail sentence for blasphemy. BBC 24 minutes ago, "Mr Purnama was accused of blasphemy for comments he made during a pre-election speech in September 2016. He implied that Islamic leaders were trying to trick voters by using a verse in the Koran to argue that Muslims should not vote for a non-Muslim leader. His remarks, which were widely shared in an edited video, sparked outrage among religious hard-liners. They staged regular large rallies calling for him to face trial." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-39853280
