BEHEMOTH – Nergal Cleared Of Blasphemy Charges

BEHEMOTH front man Adam “Negal” Darski was found innocent recently in a Polish court, after being on trial for tearing pages out of a Bible and calling it, “a deceitful book” at a concert in 2007.

Nergal was being charged for the crime of insulting religious feelings, an offense which can carry a sentence of two years imprisonment in the predominantly Catholic country of Poland. Darski was cleared of the charges when he explained that the show where the tearing took place was a closed event in which only those who had purchased tickets attended and knew what to expect, a statement held up when questioned audience members stated that they were not offended by Darski’s actions or comments.
