Last week, Seppo Lehto wrote me to inform me that he has been sentenced to prison for 2 years and 7 months. Here is a link to the post.
He was originally charged with nine counts of gross defamation, inciting ethnic hatred, and inciting religious hatred.
Lehto had previosly served a suspended sentence for defamation and was under probation, which means thathis three month sentence will become mandatory. The total mandatory sentence will be two years and four months, which is by far the harshest sentence ever for a "Freedom of Speech crime" in Finnish legal history.
The full verdict can be read in Finnish here.
When Seppo originally informed me of his sentencing, I wrote the following email to him:
Today, I received his response:
I have since read criticisms of Seppo Lehto, including some on Gates of Vienna, which imply that he is a racist. So, in reply to his email, I sent him the following:
It will be interesting to see how he replies. Let us be clear, a person has the right to not like people for whatever reason they choose. And further, a person has a right to express his or her opinion on that subject. So, I support Seppo Lehto in his right to express his opinion.
At the same time, if he is a racist, we need to be clear about it.
The reason we need to be clear about it is so you can choose whether you want to join us in supporting Seppo Lehto.
Here is a video from Seppo Lehto. I find this video hilarious. I wish I would have made it. See what you think:

Update On Finnish Blogger Seppo Lehto
Last week, Seppo Lehto wrote me to inform me that he has been sentenced to prison for 2 years and 7 months. Here is a link to the post.
He was originally charged with nine counts of gross defamation, inciting ethnic hatred, and inciting religious hatred.
Lehto had previosly served a suspended sentence for defamation and was under probation, which means thathis three month sentence will become mandatory. The total mandatory sentence will be two years and four months, which is by far the harshest sentence ever for a "Freedom of Speech crime" in Finnish legal history.
The full verdict can be read in Finnish here.
When Seppo originally informed me of his sentencing, I wrote the following email to him:
I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem. Do you have to go to
prison right away, or will you be able to appeal?
Is there
anything we can do to help maybe?
Today, I received his response:
I will appeal to higher courts. I let you know when I know better

Unfortunately my not so good english is a little obstacle. But I hope you
got messages from
( I do not know that person, but he has reported my court case in english http://vasarahammer.blogspot.com/ )
or other finns if I have been prisoned. In the jail there is not
possiblities to reply to e-mails.
Yours Sincerely

I have since read criticisms of Seppo Lehto, including some on Gates of Vienna, which imply that he is a racist. So, in reply to his email, I sent him the following:
Hi Seppo,
I am glad to hear that you are not in prison at this point. I
hope that you win your appeal.
Let me know if there is anything we
can do in terms of getting word out.
Here is a question for you. I
see that you use the word "nigger" on your website. That is considered a racist
word in English.
You have a right to be a racist if you want to be.
And, you have a right to express racist opinions if that is how you
feel.
Do you dislike people who are not white? Tell me, honestly.
You have a right to not like people who are not white.
I am white,
but most of my family is not white. I love people of all colors. But, I believe
it is a person's right to express their opinion, no matter what that opinion is.
What is your opinion?
It will be interesting to see how he replies. Let us be clear, a person has the right to not like people for whatever reason they choose. And further, a person has a right to express his or her opinion on that subject. So, I support Seppo Lehto in his right to express his opinion.
At the same time, if he is a racist, we need to be clear about it.
The reason we need to be clear about it is so you can choose whether you want to join us in supporting Seppo Lehto.
