> I don't think he has anything to do with the actual political body responsible for interpretating the Finnish constitution [4] - he's certainly not listed as a member. The term "anything" is not quite accurate, based on just a quick Google it does seem like Martin Scheinin has been the author of some expert opinions on a variety of topics as taken into consideration by the Perustuslakivaliokunta. But "the constitution of Finland is currently interpreted by [...] Martin Scheinin" is a fairly misleading way of stating this - the Perustuslakivaliokunta does the interpretation. Re the "a former board member of Finnish Communist party" part, this also has a grain of truth to it, but quoting the quoted official police report [1] (published by an news site explicitly affiliated with the political party associated with the defendant in this case), while they were indeed a member of the communist part committee in the 1980's, they have since explicitly disavowed this and changed their stance. > They just selected new Minister of Social Services, who was most vile pro-soviet communist in the 1970s. While this also has a grain of truth to it related to Aki Linden's very early political career as a student [2] (published by a news media associated with a competing political party), I would consider this excessive hyperbole. Finnish politics today are not the same as they were in the 1970s, even if some of the politicians have grown up during those years.
