Danish Rebellion Spokesman Convicted in Terror-Liberation Case (link):

"Denmark’s Rebellion (Oprør) spokesman Patrick Mac Manus was found guilty today (March 15, 2010) in Copenhagen City Court for: “attempting to collect funds” for “terrorist organizations” Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP); and for “encouraging [hundreds of organizations] to collect funds” for the same.

Judge Helle Hastrup, however, rendered a mild sentence of six months probation as opposed to 18 months imprisonment asked for by the prosecutor. Court costs of 110,000 Danish kroner (about $20,000) plus 25% tax are to be shared by the defendant and the state. She could have demanded that all court costs be paid by the defendant."
