APRIL 12, HELSINKI, FINLAND—The Finnish government and Fazer Restaurants Ltd, a billion EUR food corporation, are in district court today defending themselves against allegations of human rights abuses related to the Covid passes.
The plaintiff, Mika Vahkala, is a 43-year-old Helsinki resident and entrepreneur who argues that the Covid passes and rigorous requirements during the pandemic violated Finland’s constitution and basic human rights. International observers are watching the case carefully as the World Health Organization and European Union have launched plans to implement digital passports globally when the next pandemic hits.
The case stems from an incident in 2021 when digital COVID passes were implemented worldwide. This shut out millions of people who chose not to take the experimental vaccine. Those who would not comply were barred from restaurants, businesses, and social activities. One day, Vahkala was denied service at Fazer’s Cafe Kluuvikatu in Helsinki because he didn’t have a Covid pass.
Finland is an EU member, so the precedent the case may set is significant and could end up in the European Human Rights Court. Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a prominent cardiologist from London, is an Expert Witness on the case regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. His testimony focused on the capture of the global medical industry by transnational pharmaceutical corporations, the intimidation and silencing of whistleblowers, and the shortcomings of evidence-based medicine.

A group of filmmakers are capturing key moments of the legal stand-off for an upcoming documentary entitled “Case: Covidpass and Battle for Basic Human Rights. The trailer can be viewed here.
“I didn’t have a covid pass. They told me I had to leave the premises, and I felt this was wrong in so many ways. They were asking me about my private health issues, which is not okay,” Vauhkala told the Nordic Times back in October.
“The right to freedom of movement and the right to protection of health data were violated. Finland’s constitution guarantees that no citizen may be discriminated against based on health status, among other things,” said Vauhkala.
A key witness is Dr.Hanna Nonyhek (FIN), chairman of SAGE (WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization). Nohynek will be asked how much the international scientific community knew about the efficacy of vaccines prior to December 2021.
“I’m taking this personal risk on behalf of people worldwide who stand for freedom against tyranny, said Vauhkala. “Enough is enough.”
