Finland Free Speech Hate Speech laws

FINLAND: FINN PARTY YOUTH LEADER TYNKKYNEN INVESTIGATED BY POLICE FOR SPEAKING MIND ON ISLAM AND MUSLIMS ON FACEBOOK…….

They’ll find him guilty, they have to, they’ve already deemed it a crime to speak truthful about Islam

The truth is no longer a defence in Finnish court system, the Jussi Hallo-aho case proved that.

Police to investigate Finns Party Youth chair over claims of inciting racial hatred

Following a complaint from a member of the public, police in the northwestern city of Oulu have started a preliminary investigation into whether the chair of the Finns Party Youth political group, Sebastian Tynkkynen, incited racial hatred in several posts on social media.

Police received a request from a member of the public to look into several internet posts written by Finns Party Youth chair Sebastian Tynkkynen.

 

The complainant claimed that Tynkkynen had spread false and hateful attitudes against Muslims in Finland.

 

According to Oulu Detective Chief Tapani Tasanto, the complaint included about a dozen pages of Tynkkynen’s posts.

 

“The person who submitted the inquiry request had copied the texts and printed them out,” Tasanto said. “It seems that the texts, at least to a certain extent, were Facebook posts.”

 

Tasanto said the complaint claimed that Tynkkynen’s writings were not only racist, discriminating and baseless but also “clearly aimed at certain ethnic groups.”

 

Last month the youth politician called for all Muslims without Finnish citizenship to be deported to their countries of origin. Police say they received the complaint arrived in late July.

 

According to Tasanto the prosecutor’s office is not yet involved in the case and the preliminary investigation is just beginning.

NOTE II: There is no such thing as ”hate speech”, there is only speech with which you agree, disagree or have no opinion on at all.
