Finnish parliamentarian criminally charged for social media post
A Finnish parliamentarian was criminally charged for her social media post about a Pride event.
On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed a Finnish parliamentarian who was criminally prosecuted for hate speech for her opposition to LGBTQ+ views.
Finland's former interior minister, Päivi Räsänen, was charged under hate speech laws for sharing a verse from the Bible on social media.
#kirkko on ilmoittanut olevansa #seta n #Pride2019 virallinen partneri. Miten kirkon oppiperusta, #raamattu sopii yhteen sen kanssa, että häpeä ja synti nostetaan ylpeyden aiheeksi? pic.twitter.com/cnjAQCrOc2

As stated by reporter Lois McLatchie Miller, "That tweet triggered a police investigation and resulted in three criminal charges. So the first was for the tweet, the second was as they dug into her past they found other things that she had said."
"All three of these charges of hate speech actually fall under the Finnish Criminal Code titled, 'War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity,'" she added.
