Europadomstolen dömer Finland efter skolskjutning
Finlands agerande före skolmassakern i Kauhajoki 2008 var en kränkning mot offrens rättighet till liv. Det hävdar Europadomstolen som dömer Finland att betala 30 000 euro i ersättningar till offrens familjer, skriver SR Ekot.
Gärningsmannen förhördes av polis dagen före dådet efter att ha publicerat hotfulla inlägg på nätet. Man beslutade trots det att inte beslagta hans vapen.
Europadomstolen skriver i domen att polisen borde ha beslagtagit vapnet som en säkerhetsåtgärd och att agerandet bröt mot artikel 2 i Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna.

The Kauhajoki school shooting occurred on 23 September 2008, at the Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences in the former province of Western Finland. The gunman, 22-year-old student Matti Juhani Saari, shot and killed ten people with a Walther P22 semi-automatic pistol, before shooting himself in the head. He died a few hours later in Tampere University Hospital. One woman was injured but was in a stable condition.The shooting took place at the Kauhajoki School of Hospitality, owned by the Seinäjoki Municipal Federation of Education. The facilities and campus were shared between the Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences and the Seinäjoki Vocational Education Centre – Sedu. Saari was a second-year student in a Bachelor of Hospitality Management degree programme. The incident was the second school shooting in less than a year in Finland, the other being the Jokela school shooting in November 2007, in which nine people including the gunman died. Before that, only one other school shooting had taken place in the country's history, in Rauma in 1989, leaving two people dead.
