A troubling ruling for religious freedom and freedom of expression: Finland’s Supreme Court dismissed the charge over MP Päivi Räsänen’s 2019 Bible-verse social-media post, but convicted her over separate passages in a Christian pamphlet and imposed a fine. Whatever one thinks of the underlying views, the imposition of criminal liability for nonviolent religious expression sets a troubling precedent for religious freedom and freedom of expression.

@usembfinland @ArtoLuukkanen @PaiviRasanen So you didn’t understand what the verdict was about? It was not about citating the Bible but to express as a doctor her opinion that homosexualism is a sickness of mind. How strange is a person in your position to comment Finnish highest court rules on false premises! 😳
