New Hazing Objections: a fight to the Finnish

The Finnish Conscripts’ Union is urging the Defence Forces to adopt a tougher line against hazing. The union says hazing should result in a loss of military rank or dismissal. According to the Defence Forces, the military does not tolerate hazing.

Jyrki Iivonen, the director for public policy at the Defence Ministry, says hazing is inexcusable and unacceptable in all circumstances. Furthermore, he says intervention occurs immediately when cases of hazing surface.

But according to the union, the military’s views on hazing need to be delivered to the troops. Harri Sieppi, the union’s chair, says the policy of no tolerance has not reached the barracks.

The union says it wants concrete examples warning against hazing. The union adds that it hopes hazing, like drug use, will not be tolerated whatsoever.

On Thursday the union meets with the Defence Forces commander at its annual meeting. Hazing is among the topics to be discussed.
