Swedish mail companies refuse to distribute Muhammad caricature
Sweden's largest direct marketing company has joined the national postal service in refusing to distribute a political newspaper containing a caricature of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Earlier this week Posten decided not to distribute SD-Kuriren - a newspaper produced by the far-right Sweden Democrats - in Svedala in southern Sweden. As the newspaper contained a reproduction of Lars Vilks's controversial illustration of Muhammad as a dog, the postal service said that to distribute the publication would constitute a security risk. On Wednesday marketing company Svensk Direktreklam announced that it too was refusing to deliver the Sweden Democrats' newspaper. The company stated that it would only distribute political material emanating from Sweden's current parliamentary parties. (The Local)
