Finnish judiciary: verdict on Holocaust denial, even though it is not illegal in Finland
In other words, anyone who participates in a demonstration where one person commits an offense that is not a crime under the Criminal Code can be convicted of this. At least when it comes to Jews.

The Finnish judiciary is doing its best to protect a specially protected minority. In June, the District Court of Helsinki fined 2 men for inciting against a national group. The ethnic group in this case was the Jews.

According to the district court, the men were guilty of denying the Holocaust. In 2020, they participated in a demonstration where a speech was given denying that the Holocaust happened as it is said to have happened by the winning side of the war. Critical examination of the event in question is not illegal in Finland. Many other countries have "for some reason" prohibited more detailed studies on the subject, even though it is said to be an indisputable fact.

Neither of the convicts was the speaker, but participation in the event was enough for the sentence. In other words, anyone who participates in a demonstration where one person commits an offense that is not a crime under the Criminal Code can be convicted of this. At least when it comes to Jews.

According to the court, it was clear that the men understood that the speech held there insulted Jews. According to the verdict, the men participated in the demonstration in agreement with others and sent illegal speech and messages into the audience.

The sentence was a 40-day fine for both.
