Judge Hugo Kronauer said, ‘There was undoubtedly a disregard for faith,’ since ‘the two most central figures of Christianity were shot several times in the head.’(LifeSiteNews) — A leftist Swiss politician who posted photos of herself shooting an image of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary has been convicted and sentenced to a fine.
Former member of the Green Liberal Party (GLP), Sanija Ameti, was convicted by a Zurich court and fined 3,500 Swiss Francs ($4,563).
Her defense attorney, Peter Bettoni, said in his closing statement that the politician had witnessed her older brother being shot dead in the Bosnian War when she was a small child.
After facing outrage over her blasphemous actions, Ameti posted an apology and deleted the video, stating: “As a template for the 10-meter shooting range, I needed motifs that were visible enough.
The former politician, who was born in Bosnia to Muslim parents, had also lost her job as a consultant at the Swiss PR agency Farner.
