The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the conviction for the crime of refusing civil service duty. The defendant had initially refused to perform civil service, leading to a criminal charge, but was later medically exempted from performing the duty during peacetime. The court ruled that the subsequent medical exemption invalidated the basis for the original conviction regarding the refusal.
