If you read stories Tuesday about a fourteen-year-old girl who was raped in Kempele by two suspects aged 15 and 17 years, who are Afghani asylum seekers, today’s news offers a totally different twist, reports YLE News.
According to a police statement, one of the suspects has been released from police custody because he didn’t have anything to do with the alleged crime.
The 17-year-old being held by the police denies that he had raped the victim.
The police stated that comments made especially in social media “have been brisk and mostly inappropriate” and that “people cannot write whatever they wish in social media.”

Have you too forgotten that too when reporting on all the “racist” facebook rumors and other cases where there is no one sentenced? I remember quite well how you were “first on the scene” to spread the myth that the Eskilstuna fires being racist crime by native swedes before any kind of investigation. Maybe you should look in to your own standards too.
