Denmark: The 5 anarchists arson trial set to begin

Here’s an update to the blog from dk via actforfreedomnow. This information is from different national media…

On the 20th. of April 2012 the Justice minister of Denmark M. Boedskov (Social Democrat) approved the charge, against the five young men, to be upheld as terrorism charges.  Four was arrested the 26th. April 2011 with 30 liters of petrol and a flare outside the police academy in Brondby, outer Copenhagen. A fifth was arrested in May, also 2011.
The 5 admit to try to set fire to the police academy, but denied it should be an attempt of terrorism.

The state and prosecutor says that with the arson attack on the Fur companies, Embassy etc. they tried to destabilize the political, social and financial foundations in Denmark and therefore should they be charged under the terror legislation. Even though in Denmark already Arson charges can get you life in prison, so by using the terror law, they just makes it much more difficult for the defendants to prepare their defence as the are under mail and visitor monitoring. Also this means that the state can keep them on remand for a full year, without charge….

A trial date is set for 9th May 2012, but information is sketchy as to whether we’ll be getting access to the courtroom as previously it was held behind closed doors.
