Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen was barred from transiting through London’s Heathrow Airport. She was told she would not be able to use her return flight via the United Kingdom because she had been found guilty of a “hate crime,” LifeSiteNews reports.
The politician and physician learned of the ban while traveling to a conference hosted by Alliance Defending Freedom. British authorities deemed her presence in the country – even in the airport’s international zone – undesirable.
Earlier, Finland’s Supreme Court fined Räsänen €1,800 over a 2004 pamphlet on marriage. Written a decade before same-sex unions were legalized in Finland, the work was based on biblical teaching. Two lower courts had previously fully acquitted the author, but LGBT activists secured a review of the case.
As the UOJ reported, Päivi Räsänen, whom the Supreme Court found guilty of “hate speech” over the church pamphlet “Male and Female He Created Them,” called for the repeal of all European laws banning criticism of LGBT.
