Finland's Prosecutor General has formally charged a Christian MP after she expressed a traditional view on marriage and sexuality.
Päivi Räsänen, the country's former Minister of the Interior, is accused of "hate speech" over her comments in a 2004 pamphlet, a 2018 TV show and a recent tweet.
Three charges have been brought against Räsänen, each carrying a two-year prison sentence.
The 61-year-old was first questioned by police in 2019 after she criticised the Finnish Lutheran Church - of which she is a member - over its official support for an LGBT Pride event.
Following the decision by the Prosecutor General to bring formal charges, the 61-year-old said she would not stop sharing her views.

She’s a hero for standing up for God’s Truth!
We’d best prepare ourselves mentally for the same here in this insane country.
Child abuse should be charges against these infidels to logic and science.
I bet if you look into the personal lives of the people who made that law they are filled with perverse acts. That is the reason for the law, to make it possible for them to do things otherwise not considered good.
Pedophilia next to be thought of as perfectly ok.
Finland/Democrap party. one and the same.
They won’t come right out and say that being Christian is now a crime.
Note to self, Finland is not a place to escape to.
I have no intention of wasting away in a prison cell for speaking God’s truth. I have no use for a government, country or life that revels in the persecution of Christians. If all Christians were meant to go quietly into the night then surely I would have never been born.
Coming to a town near you soon.
Isaiah 54:17
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Any Christians rioting and burning cities over this injustice or are they all too busy turning the other cheek?
So we are right to condemn those who by their tongue judge us falsely?
Perhaps it is time to get busy....
Frankly, American Lutherans are not handling the current political psychosis any better.
Lutheran Services (formerly Lutheran Social Services) gets like 90% of its budget from the federal government to re-settle illegal immigrants in every state in America!
Fascism spreads far and wide. But these folks were allies of Hitler and Communist Russia so some things change very slowly or not at all.
It is absolutely coming to America. People are going to have to choose between living and eternal death vs losing everything for Eternal Life.
Finland has always been pro gay. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Tom of Finland but Tom of Finland, was a Finnish artist known for his stylized highly masculinized homoerotic art, and for his influence on late-20th century gay culture.
In England, a Free Methodist pastor has been charged with “hate speech” for advocating a Biblical position on marriage. England is much closer to us culturally than is Finland. The trends are not encouraging.
This is coming here sooner or later.
Agreed.
Things are headed that way here without a doubt.
Despotic Dems will make it happen.
