The national television broadcaster of Finland, YLE, produced an in-depth video report on the court case against Päivi Räsänen, the Christian politician accused of hate speech against homosexuals who won the case in the Helsinki courts in March 2022.

The state prosecutor appealed the sentence and the case will be re-opened. But then the hearings were delayed to August 2023.
