Transcript from the Mikko Ellilä trial

A couple of times previously, I've written about a fellow blogger from Finland, Mikko Ellilä, who was on trial last month for simply writing his own ideas on his own weblog. I don't agree with everything he says, but he was unjustly prosecuted by a state that's uncomfortable with his ideas. In any case, the transcript is online, in English (here in the original Finnish).

Here's a particularly hilarious passage:

Illman: I quote some extracts from the text that I consider illegal.

Quotation I: "For the Africans, looting, rape, nepotism, corruption, clan warfare, superstition and impulsive homicide are [ *illegal content omitted* ] by Bolshevist-style anarchy and voodoo culture."

Quotation II: "In the United States and in Canada, Negroes behave bearably only when.. [ *illegal content omitted* ] ..to adapt to Western culture."

Quotation III: "Were black-majority areas to be independent city states, they.. [ *illegal content omitted* ] ..manifest themselves in their behaviour."

Quotation IV: "Importing Negroes into Europe lowers.. [ *illegal content omitted* ] ..if Negroes weren't welfare bums living off taxpayer money."

The "illegal content omitted" statements were not by me, or by the web site. It was omitted by the court itself - incredibly, the court reporters can't even publish their own official transcripts for fear of being prosecuted themselves! Such are the absurdities of living in a Orwellian state.
