He suggested that the IIHF change its stance and consider that Russia's participation jeopardizes the integrity of the competitions, which is why the ban on participation should be extended. #IIHF #Venäjä #urheilu #FI #RU (translated)

Seida Sohrabi stated that she filed a criminal complaint a couple of years ago regarding videos published on social media, which she claims presented defamations and private life information about herself and her parents. She said the videos contained serious and unfounded allegations as well as insinuations about her parents' connections to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Sohrabi denied the claim made in the video that there was an ISIS flag on her parents’ balcony in Turku's Varissuo. According to her, her parents had never lived in Varissuo together or separately, and a terrorist organization's flag had not been raised on the balcony. She mentioned that her parents fled Iran when they were young and said that there were peshmerga fighters in her family who had fought for the rights of Kurds. She also revealed that the videos contained derogatory implications about her parents’ sexual behavior. According to Sohrabi, her parents had not sought publicity, but they had been drawn into attacks due to her public position. She stated that the respondent had been convicted of disseminating private information and defamation. She claimed that the conviction was not final. Sohrabi justified bringing the matter to public attention by stating that even those in public office have rights, and that filing a criminal complaint should not be seen as an overreaction if a line had been crossed. She expressed concern about the state of democracy, privacy protection, and the safety of political participation. She referred to Ben Zyskowicz's violent attack at a campaign event in Helsinki before the 2023 parliamentary elections, the harassment experienced by Sanna Marin, the violation of domestic peace, and Juha Sipilä’s assault near the parliament building. Sohrabi also mentioned that the West Uusimaa police were investigating two incidents related to election work that occurred on September 19, as well as suspected intrusions into the homes of members of parliament. Sohrabi said she wanted harassment, hate, and violence to be addressed before they became entrenched in Finnish political culture. She warned that perceiving participation in politics as too great a personal risk could undermine democracy. #demokratia #yksityisyys #kunnialoukkaus (translated)

Alpo Rusi claimed that Tuomioja leaked to the media on October 30, 1972, a secret memorandum about the conversations between Kekkonen and Brezhnev in August 1972 with the aim of overthrowing the EEC agreement. According to Rusi, the police suspected others as well, and many were convicted. He stated that Tuomioja was the vice-chairman of the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee and asked whether the leak was his own idea. According to Rusi, the KGB had at least "active measures" aimed at preventing the agreement. #Suomi #historia #politiikka (translated)

The leader of the Kenyan starvation cult, Paul Mackenzie, was found guilty of the murder of 190 children, as the court confirmed his and about 30 other people's involvement in the tragic case where followers were instructed to starve themselves and their children to reach heaven before the end of the world. #Kultit #Kenia #Murha (translated)

Alpo Rusi wrote that Tuomioja's goal was to discredit, isolate, or otherwise treat harshly those in Finland who did not respect Russia. According to Rusi, it was the Finnish Foreign Minister's duty to show the rest of Europe and the United States how to get along with Russia, and that sometimes required tough measures. #Suomi #Venäjä #Politiikka (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the imam's statement about Finnish law applying to Muslims did not, in her opinion, answer the question of the status of sharia law nor did it exclude the possibility of considering it important. She described the response as misleading. Alanko claimed that Aw-Musse had not distanced himself from sharia law or the idea of separate sharia courts in Finland. She suggested that this was related to both the imam's role and the fact that messages pleasing to Finns might be beneficial in the long term. According to Alanko, Aw-Musse could have directly stated that he did not want to replace Finnish laws with an Islamic legal system. Alanko finally referred to Jari Sarasvuo's statement that sharia or a parallel culture was not needed in Finland. #Suomi #Islam #Šaria (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for often choosing female journalists to incite moral panic, according to him. He interpreted Yle's analysis as showing that support for the National Coalition Party among women had dropped to 12 percent and that the Finns Party had surpassed this party. However, according to Mäkäräinen, women were not punishing the National Coalition Party for its policies but for its austerity measures, and men were supporting the state. Mäkäräinen believed that the decline in women's support was due to the impact of budget cuts on sectors predominantly employing women, such as social services, organizations, and public services. In his view, this did not make the cuts unjust, but rather highlighted their effects. He mentioned the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance, and the Centre Party as the most popular parties among women and claimed that the left proposed tax increases amounting to nine billion euros. According to Mäkäräinen, the costs of these increases would fall on men who work overtime, start businesses, and pay progressive taxes. Mäkäräinen assessed that the issue for the National Coalition Party was its attempt to soften difficult decisions, while the Finns Party spoke about the same issues more directly. He argued that men were underrepresented in the care sector and overrepresented in dangerous jobs, entrepreneurship, and at the high end of the tax revenue spectrum. In his opinion, the National Coalition Party should maintain its stance even if it lost some female support, as this could help it win over voters who support the sustainability of the state. https://t.co/DfwLyPN03s #Politiikka #NaistenOikeudet #Taloustieto (translated)
