Finnish Supreme Court Convicts Christian Legislator of ‘Hate Speech’
Source excerpt
In a stunning reversal of previous rulings, Finland’s Supreme Court found Dr. Päivi Räsänen, a Christian legislator and former government minister, guilty of the country’s hate speech laws on March 26. “I am shocked and profoundly disappointed that the court has failed to recognize my basic human right to freedom of expression,” Dr. Räsänen said in a statement after the ruling. “I stand by the teachings of my Christian faith and will continue to defend my and every person’s right to share their convictions in the public square.”
