Petition text:
Suomeksi: Me allekirjoittaneet, vaadimme, että Suomen oikeusministeriö muuttaa tuomitsemiskäytäntöjä ja langettaa ankarampia rangaistuksia ja pidempiä vankeusaikoja niille, jotka ovat syyllistyneet lasten seksuaaliseen hyväksikäyttöön Suomessa.

Kuinka on mahdollista, että tuomitut pedofiilit voivat tuhota lukemattomien lasten elämän vastenmielisillä teoillaan, suorittaa sen jälkeen säälittävän lyhyen tuomion, ja palata sen jälkeen jatkamaan elämäänsä. Joissain tapauksissa syyllistä ei tuomita vankeuteen lainkaan! Tämä ei ole oikeutta lapsille, joita he ovat vahingoittaneet.Pedofiilit pitää saada vankilaan pidemmiksi jaksoiksi, pitääksemme heidät kaukana haavoittuvista lapsista.

Me vaadimme että tuomittujen pedofiilien rangaistusten tulee olla suhteessa heidän tekojensa vakavuuteen ja tuomioiden tulee olla yhtenevät koko Suomessa. Me vaadimme oikeutta näiden vastenmielisten rikosten uhreille.

In English: We, the undersigned, demand that the Finnish Ministry of Justice change sentencing procedures and apply harsher penalties and jail time against those convicted of child sexual abuse in Finland.

How is it that convicted paedophiles can destroy the lives of countless children through their disgusting actions, serve pitifully short sentences and then be allowed to get on with their lives when they are released from prison? In some cases offenders are sentenced to no jail time at all! This is no justice for the children they have harmed. Paedophiles need to be imprisoned for longer periods of time to keep them away from vulnerable children.

We demand that sentencing of convicted paedophiles in Finland is increased to reflect the seriousness of their crimes and that it be applied uniformly across the country. We demand justice for the victims of these disgusting crimes.
