Cases
Emily Mapfuwa
In 2008, the Christian Legal Centre supported Emily Mapfuwa, a Christian who was offended by a sculpture of Christ with an erection, in a private prosecution against the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts for outraging public decency.[2] In November that year, the case was taken over and discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service, which concluded there was no case to answer.[3]
