Totalitarian and Fascist Tendencies in Denmark

---

Where Denmark used to pride itself in leading the way in the implementation of human rights, racism, xenophobic discrimination and demonisation of "unpopular" minorities is now the order of the day.

This is hardly a new development. In the years 1996-2001, the printed magazine Faklen included a recurring section called "Samfundsudsigten", which documented all human rights violations, racist discrimination and uncomfortable steps towards the abolition of what was once commonly recognised civil rights reported by the Danish press.

Until early 2000, this section was regularly translated to English and distributed as a newsletter in English to a variety of mailing lists and foreign human rights groups. In 1998, Faklen prepared a report for the UNHCR concerning racism and xenophobia in Denmark in support of a complain made by the leaders of the Somali community in Denmark.

We will now (October, 2010) make this material available online once more, on this page. Its relevance has long been superseded by the unfortunate political development in Denmark since 2001, but we believe it to be of historical interest for people looking for the sources of the rampant xenophobia and racism in Denmark.
