This is the foundation of every free and democratic society. We hope the Helsinki District Court will uphold this fundamental freedom when it rules on this case.

The prosecutor began the first day of the trial by arguing that the case was not about beliefs or the Bible. She then proceeded to quote Old Testament Bible verses and criticize the phrase \u201clove the sinner, hate the sin\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will continue to stand for what I believe and what I have written.

As an active member of the Finnish Lutheran church, she had addressed the leadership of her church on Twitter and questioned its official sponsorship of the LGBT event \u2018Pride 2019\u2019, accompanied by an image of Bible verses from the New Testament book of Romans. Following this tweet, further investigations against R\u00e4s\u00e4nen were launched, going back to a church pamphlet R\u00e4s\u00e4nen wrote almost 20 years ago.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the last two years, R\u00e4s\u00e4nen attended several lengthy police interrogations about her Christian beliefs \u2013 including being frequently asked by the police to explain her understanding of the Bible. In April 2021, Finland\u2019s Prosecutor General had brought three criminal charges against R\u00e4s\u00e4nen. Two of the three charges R\u00e4s\u00e4nen faced had come after the police made strong recommendations not to continue the prosecution. R\u00e4s\u00e4nen\u2019s statements also did not violate the policies of Twitter or the national broadcaster, which is why they remained freely available on their platforms. The Helsinki District Court has now acquitted R\u00e4s\u00e4nen of all charges.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">R\u00e4s\u00e4nen has served as a Finnish Member of Parliament since 1995.
