Purnama was "found to have legitimately and convincingly conducted a criminal act of blasphemy, and because of that we have imposed two years of imprisonment," head judge Dwiarso Budi Santiarto told the court.
The trial has been widely seen as a test of religious tolerance in the world's largest Muslim-majority nation.
