Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court ordered the release of the defendant who had been detained pending trial for alleged offenses related to demonstrations. The prosecution argued for continued detention based on specific extracts, but the court found these did not constitute criminal acts under the relevant statute. Consequently, the court ruled that without evidence of criminal intent or qualification, the detention order was legally unfounded.

Landsretten løslader sigtede der er varetægtsfængslet for overtrædelse af straffelovens § 119, stk. 1, jf. § 23, § 181, stk. 1, jf. § 23, § 134a, jf. § 23 og § 136

[DOKUMENT] Retsbog med kendelse (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE Lukkede døre

Afsagt den 21. februar 2008 af Østre Landsrets 4. afdeling (landsdommerne Birte Lynæs, Karsten Bo Knudsen og Jacob Elverum (kst.)).

4. afd. kære nr. S-563-08: Anklagemyndigheden mod Sigtede (CPR nr. (Født 1985)) (advokat Jørgen Hindhede, besk.)

Sigtede har kæret Holbæk Rets kendelse af 19. februar 2008 (S 60-587/2008), hvorved han i medfør af retsplejelovens § 762, stk. 1, nr. 2 og nr. 3, er blevet varetægtsfængslet til den 18. marts 2008 som sigtet for overtrædelse af straffelovens § 119, stk. 1, jf. § 23, § 181, stk. 1, jf. § 23, § 134a, jf. § 23 og § 136.

Da de i sigtelsens forhold 4 nævnte udtagelser alene går på, at man vil blive ved med at ”demonstrere” , og ikke indeholder nogen kvalificering af eventuelle forb rydelser i forbin-delse med sådanne demonstrationer, kan de ikke anses for omfattet af straffelovens § 136, og da der intet bevis foreligger for at sigtede har haft tilknytning til de i forholdene 1-3 nævnte forbrydelser,

bestemmes:

Sigtede løslades.
