Wait a minute, he said those things during a debate regarding the creation of the 'hate speech' law? So, he wasn't breaking law, yet.
Laws regulating speech can be very dangerous.
The fact that he was prosecuted for remarks made in open debate in Parliament is doubly offensive. If elected officials cannot have freedom in speech in the legislature, then the country is truly no longer free.
Were it me, I would refuse to pay the fine and would risk jail instead. I am not saying that to show how tough I am. Any Christian should do the same, and countless would.
