Kirsten Chesnut is hunger striking in front of the Danish parliament since May 1^st

By application of highly irregular procedures, the Danish authorities have ruined Kirsten Chesnut’s life. In spite of clear and solid evidence to the fact that her case was incorrectly handled from the very beginning, the authorities refuse to admit to their mistake and restore her rights. Kirsten was never allowed to present her view and her information to the court – on the contrary, the authorities are now trying to see her case closed for good.

Gross miscarriage of Justice? Yes, says Kirsten’s attorney, Jytte Thorbek, who considers Kirsten’s case to be one of the most tragic instances of such miscarriage of justice to be found in modern Danish judicial history.

She further says: “The Court Decision of July 7^th, 1998, is a disgrace to Danish rule of law as well as to the Danish authorities for the way this case has been handled. The court case was a show trial of the kind otherwise known only from less democratic countries.

It was staged and continually instructed by the Danish Department of Private Law,

under the pretence that the decision was an independent decision by the Court.

The case must be re-opened!
