German Chancellor Angela Merkel will make a speech at an event this week honouring a Danish cartoonist who sparked Muslim anger by depicting Prophet Moham-med, organisers said.
The German Chancellor, 56, will make a speech on press freedom at Wedne-sday’s ceremony in Pots-dam awarding Kurt Westergaard, 75, the M100 Media Prize 2010, organisers said in a statement.
With Westergaard subject to death threats, there would be an “appropriate” security presence at the event, including body searches, police spokesman Rudi Sonntag said.
