She is supported by a petition of more than 55,000 signatories who want to ‘defend the right to criticise Islam in Europe’*. The retrying of a case is only considered in 5% of requests if ‘the case raises a serious question affecting the interpretation or application of the Convention or the Protocols thereto or a serious issue of general importance’.
