Free speech wins over "hate speech" laws in Finnish court | Eastern North Carolina Now
Member of parliament charged for tweeting Bible verses on marriage and gender
Free speech triumphed over a "hate speech" law in Finland as the Helsinki Court of Appeals unanimously dismissed the three "hate speech" charges brought against Finnish member of parliament and former Minister of the Interior Paivi Rasanen for tweeting Bible verses related to marriage and gender. The charges had previously been dismissed by the trial court, and the prosecution appealed. Rasanen has served in parliament for almost 30 years.
When she was arrested, Rasanen was subjected to 13 hours of police interrogation. The Appeals court ordered the government to reimburse her for her defense costs.
Free speech is under serious attack in Europe. In France, two feminist leaders have criminal charges pending for "hate speech" for posting that allowing biological men into some womens spaces created a danger to women. The left would like to do the same here in America, and it is only our First Amendment that is stopping them so far.
