Court finds that the head of Danish Nazi organisation, Jonni Hansen, did not distribute racist propaganda
Jonni Hansen, head of the Danish National Socialist Movement (DNSB), was acquitted of racism charges by Roskilde lower court yesterday.
Hansen had two previous convictions linked to his involvement with the DNSB and faced a possible two years in prison if he had been convicted of spreading racist propaganda.
He made no excuses for his connections and beliefs, but argued that the DNSB flyers distributed to homes in Gladsaxe and Bagsværd were not racist.
The leaflets, which the prosecutor described as ‘Nazi propaganda’, featured swastikas and accused democratic politicians of ‘opening up for a coloured flood’.
It also stated that ‘the democratic parties raise foreigners to a master race in our country, while they relegate us Danes to second class citizens. It’s pure discrimination against the Danes.’
According to Hansen’s explanation, the phrase was included because ‘the great influx of immigrants will sweep the Danish people aside’.
During the heated court case, dozens of anti-fascist demonstrators gathered outside the courtroom and were kept back from Hansen’s supporters by police.
