Lorcan Price reveals how a Finnish religious liberty case affects the United States

A criminal case involving religious expression in Finland may seem obscure and irrelevant to many Americans, but those involved in the case said it could have implications far beyond Europe.

Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola are both facing charges of "ethnic agitation" for expressing traditional Christian views on marriage and homosexuality. If convicted, both could face fines and time in prison.

The trial itself could have a chilling effect on free speech around the world regardless of the verdict, Alliance Defending Freedom International's Lorcan Price, who is involved with the case, said.
