Danish court

A Danish court July 17 ordered a Volkswagen dealer to pay Chinese artist Ai Weiwei more than 230,000 euros in damages for using one of the artist's works in an ad without authorization.

A Danish court has sentenced two Greeks to three months in prison — two of which are suspended — for making jokes that caused the evacuation of Copenhagen’s international airport terminal for an hour, just five days after the Paris attacks.

Maintaining good relations with Turkey is more crucial for Denmark than the recent dispute between the countries that erupted after the release of the suspected shooter of a Danish writer, the country’s foreign minister has said.

Turkey has demanded an explanation and clarification from Danish authorities about the release of 10 men charged with financing the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for alleged terrorist activities, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a written statement Oct. 31.

A Danish court on Oct. 23 freed 10 men charged with "terror funding" after raising up to 140 million kroner (18.8 million euros, $23.8 million) for PKK militants.

The money was channeled to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), through Roj TV, a Denmark-based Kurdish television channel that had its license revoked last year for "glorifying terrorism."
