The Finnish government has submitted a legislative proposal to criminalise Holocaust denial and the public denial of other recognised international crimes, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment. The proposal, submitted to Parliament on Thursday, introduces a specific provision in the criminal code that would make it an offence to deny the Holocaust. If passed, the law is expected to take effect during the autumn legislative session.
