Finnish MP Charged With Hate Crime For Posting Bible Verses to Face Supreme Court
Nearly two years after a Finnish Court of Appeals acquitted Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen of hate speech charges for quoting the Bible in a Twitter post, prosecutors are appealing the ruling to the country’s Supreme Court, seeking her imprisonment and fines.
In 2019, Räsänen questioned the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland’s participation in a Helsinki Pride event, posting a picture of Romans 1:24-27 (“Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts…”).
Following complaints to the police, she was investigated and charged with a hate crime. According to Christian Today:
Räsänen was charged with “agitation against a minority group” under the section of the Finnish criminal code that deals with “war crimes and crimes against humanity”. The charges related to the tweet, to her comments in a radio debate, and to a church pamphlet published in 2004. The co-publisher of the pamphlet, Bishop Juhana Pohjola, was also charged.
Prosecutors have zeroed in on her use of the word “sin,” which they have decried as hateful and demeaning.
Despite being exonerated in two trials in 2022 and 2023, prosecutors continue their pursuit, aiming to impose jail time and fines of tens of thousands of euros. They have appealed to the Supreme Court, with Räsänen’s trial scheduled for October 2025.
Räsänen is unapologetic, however, saying in a statement:
After my full exoneration in two courts, I’m not afraid of a hearing before the Supreme Court. Even though I am fully aware that every trial carries risks, an acquittal from the Supreme Court would set an even stronger positive precedent for everyone’s right to free speech and religion. And if the Court decided to overturn the lower courts’ acquittals, I am ready to defend freedom of speech and religion as far as the European Court of Human rights, if necessary.
Wouldn’t have to worry about anyone upsetting the “minority groups” if you just got rid of the “minority groups.”
Amen to that, those so-called “minority groups” and the (((ones))) that brought these hellspawn should be deported and bombed mid-air or mid-water
No quarter, White Anglo-Saxon, Nordic and Germanic Christians should fight back once and for all!
You are the hellspawn, Ernst … see The Pink Swastika, and Germany’s National Vice …
And you’re also a very small minority …
The SA was so full of the degenerates, it might as well have stood for “Sore A …. s”
While you’re at it, read “Hitler’s Table Talk” … they were not Christians. Nowhere close.
The prosecutors are doing an excellent job proving Romans 1 to be true, beginning with the suppression of the truth (Rom. 1:18).
