Denmark extradite men over neo-Nazi music

Denmark to extradite 2 men over neo-Nazi music - International Herald Tribune

 

Denmark agrees to extradite men for producing music, but refuses to either try other men for piracy on the high seas or extradite them to another country? Something's rotten in Denmark.

 

just read the article and i found it very interesting

 

WTH ....


Herr

 

what idiots

 

They should be extradicted to Iran. They like Holocaust Deniers and such ilk there

 

first class ticket to Germany with police protection , all paid for by the Danish taxpayer, debatable if you ask me .Why not just send them to a local jail for a week or so? A waste of money, it's not going to stop anything, they will just sell their stuff from another country next time.

 

Just to add my two cents in on this matter:

It's illegal here. Very much so. Like all normal "freedom of speech" laws here don't apply when it comes to anything nazi related, especially music (in fact, just in the past decade it became legal to play Wagner in public). That's just the way it is here, and I'm fine with that. As strict as it may be here, it is nothing compared to German laws on the subject.

But just to clear some possible misconceptions up, here's how extradition works:

They'll be driven to the Jutland / German border and picked up by German police. All things considered, it's not a huge expense, and hardly a drop in the bucket when compared to the tax dollars that we give for other things.

As far as the "not wanting to punish pirates" remark - that's not the case. The pirates in the Absalon situation could not be brought to Denmark under international law, so it wasn't a matter of wanting to or not - it came down to "couldn't".

 

Always good to see a local response. Thanks for the input.

 

Why not? My understanding is that the pirates were captured on the "high seas". International law allows the capturing country to transport such pirates to their territory and try them in a national court. The media reported the Danish Justice Ministry decided not to try them in a Danish court because they felt it would be difficult to deport them after their sentences had been served.

In any case, the pirates could still be released to another country in the area for trial. Simply taking away their arms and ladders and letting them go is NOT acceptable.
