DISINFO: The Danish government has proposed a new law whereby having "pro-Russian" views will be criminalised and punished with up to 12 years in prison

SUMMARY

The Danish government has proposed a new law whereby having “pro-Russian” views will be criminalised and punished with up to 12 years in prison.

RESPONSE

In reality the proposal for a new law specifies existing legislation, underlining that collaboration with foreign intelligence services with the aim to influence public opinion, especially ahead of elections, is a crime.
