Per-Willy Amundsen’s review of the four people who in March reported him for hate speech has been dropped. This is confirmed by police prosecutor Anette Trondsen in the Oslo police district to news. – The case has been dropped because the police have assessed that the reported relationship is not punishable, she writes in a statement to news. Report It was in May that it became known that Amundsen had reported those who reported him. – The background for the report is freedom of expression, said Amundsen to news. It was in an interview with Dagbladet that he first said that he has reported four people to the police, whom he reported in March this year for hate speech. The FRP politician from Harstad himself believed that the four people had breached Section 225 of the Criminal Code, which refers to fabricated criminal offences. – We cannot live with the Criminal Code being used as a trump card to stop expressions with which we disagree, he said. Amundsen has not yet responded to news’s inquiry into the matter. Controversial messages It was at the beginning of March that Frp’s former minister of justice made several controversial statements about “Arabs” and Islam on Facebook. Among other things, he made the following statement: “With Norway and Israel against Arabs who kill people, as you are in the habit of doing.” So go somewhere else with your morals. It’s usually you who kill us. And Islam has a whole bunch of psychopaths who kill.” That same evening, he welcomed Women’s Day this way: “Congratulations to all boring women who want to hold men back. Congratulations! You have succeeded.” These are Amundsen’s statements on 7 and 8 March: Screenshot “It’s usually you who kill us” Thursday 7 March – at 22:10 Screenshot “Let’s count you up … And send you out”7.

Ten days later, on the other hand, it became known that the Oslo police district had chosen to drop the case against the FRP politician – The police have assessed that the comments are not interpreted as constituting qualified offensive speech against a group of people who are protected under §185 of the Criminal Code. The case is therefore closed on the basis of the code no criminal offence, Oslo police district wrote in a press release. Published 01.07.2024, at 09.50 Updated 01.07.2024, at 09.58
