Fears far right street gang ‘getting bolder’ in Helsinki

A leading member of Helsinki’s Somali community says the Finnish far right is getting “bolder” after a so-called ‘street patrol’ in the east of the city.

City council member Abdirahim Husu Hussein (SDP) was at East Helsinki’s Puhos shopping centre on Monday night when around thirty members of the far-right organisation Soldiers Of Odin arrived.

“They’re not coming there to be friendly,” he said, “They’re provoking people with name calling and hand gestures. It’s not innocent.”
