The Nordic Resistance Movement, which advocates for national socialism in Scandinavia, has been banned in Finland after a Finnish court ruled on Thursday (7th) that the group advocates violence and spreads hatred.
“In addition to offending and hateful expressions... the association urges its supporters to use violence and harassment against alleged enemies,” the Finnish court said.The ban stemmed from a violent incident that occurred in September 2016, when Nordic Resistance Movement member Jesse Torniainen kicked a passerby who had spat on the ground in front of the group’s rally.
