Brazilian Court: YouTube Should Remove Anti-Islam Film

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A Brazilian court has given YouTube 10 days to remove the trailer of an online anti-Islam movie from its website.

The lawsuit against the "Innocence of Muslims" was brought by a Brazilian Muslim group, the National Islamic Union, against YouTube owner Google Inc for posting on the Internet a film it said was offensive and a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of expression.

On Tuesday, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff criticized "Islamophobia" in Western countries in a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Meanwhile, a Brazilian regional judge has ordered the arrest of Google's president in Brazil, Fabio Jose Silva Coelho, after the company failed to take down YouTube videos that are considered slanderous towards a candidate running in a mayor election in the city of Campo Grande.
