No institutionalised racism? In a much-publicised incident on 21.1.1995, a
black man was followed on a train journey and then kicked unconscious by a
group of white men at the Helsinki Central Railway station. Three railway
employees (responsible for public order) stood by and did nothing. The
attackers were still present when the police arrived but no action was taken.
One witness reported that it was even too much trouble for them to call for an
ambulance. There were several eye witnesses to the event and video
surveillance of the railway station but no suspects were identified. In
another, similar incident the police did catch one of the attackers and
confiscated a film containing pictures of the assault. Despite this advantage,
no suspects were identified.
