Finland: 15,000 March to Denounce Lawmaker's Anti-Immigrant Comments 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Finland, as many as 15,000 people attended rallies and protests
Tuesday to denounce recent comments by an elected official that
multiculturalism was "a nightmare." The lawmaker is from the Finns
Party, the second-largest in Parliament, which has backed strict
immigration laws. Many are now calling for the official, Olli Immonen,
to resign.
