I am by no means a lawer, but Vilks has had several constitutional rights broken. To save time and space I am pointing out the following that could be applied to Art;
Chapter 2 Fundamental Rights and Freedoms
Article 1
(1) All citizens shall be guaranteed the following in their relations with the public
administration: 1) freedom of expression: the freedom to communicate
information and to express ideas, opinions and emotions, whether orally, in writing,
in pictorial representations, or in any other way;
2) freedom of information: the freedom to obtain and receive information and
otherwise acquaint oneself with the utterances of others;
3) freedom of assembly: the freedom to organize or attend any meeting for
information purposes or for the expression of opinions or for any other similar
purpose or for the purpose of presenting artistic work;
4) freedom to demonstrate: the freedom to organize or take part in any
demonstration in a public place;
5) freedom of association: the freedom to unite with others for public or private
purposes; and
6) freedom of worship: the freedom to practice one's own religion either alone or
in company with others.
(2) In the case of the freedom of the press the provisions of the Freedom of the
Press Act shall apply. That act also contains provisions concerning the right of
access to public documents.
