Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding application of firearms law to prisoner's weapon possession.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal against a lower court decision regarding the application of the Criminal Code to a prisoner's possession of a weapon. The appellant argued that the specific provisions of Chapter 16, Section 17 were not correctly applied to his situation as a detainee. The court upheld the lower court's ruling, confirming that the statutory provisions strictly govern the circumstances of a prisoner's access to arms regardless of the specific procedural context.
