Al Snyder, the father of a US marine whose funeral was accompanied by the protesters’ anti-gay and anti-Catholic demonstrations is seeking damages for emotional distress. The fundamentalist church, which has said that it plans to protest outside the court, will argue on 6 October that its actions are protected under the First Amendment. Snyder says the decision isn’t a free speech issue but a “case of harrassment“.]]> http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2010/09/usa-supreme-court-to-decide-on-westboro-funeral-protests/feed/ 0 http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2009/06/stars-and-stripes-accuses-us-military-of-censorship/ http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2009/06/stars-and-stripes-accuses-us-military-of-censorship/#comments Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:10:31 +0000 Index on Censorship http://www.indexoncensorship.org/?p=4008 here]]> http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2009/06/stars-and-stripes-accuses-us-military-of-censorship/feed/ 0
