The Danish High Court on Thursday convicted six Danish citizens of supporting terror, after they were found to have funnelled money from T-shirt and fragrance sales to the Palestinian terror group PFLP and the Colombian guerilla group FARC.
The employees were initially found not guilty in the District Court last year, but Thursday the High Court ruled to convict six of them of supporting terrorism, and sentenced two to six months in prison.
On the webpage of the Danish clothing company Fighters+Lovers it is possible to buy T-shirts with the logos of PFLP or FARC. Recently, they have also launched a fragrance called Ramallah Nights, which smells like ‘the red earth and lively bazaars of Palestine’.
The proceeds from all sales on the website go directly to the two organizations, PFLP and FARC, which are both on the EU terror list. [more...]

well i dont know how one would go about defining the PFLP. they were certainly a different force in their day. i never agreed with any of their tactics, especially the hijacking of planes and the subsequent and terrible black september.
as for FARC, well even “revolutionary forces” that finance themselves by being one of the biggest cocaine dealers in the world, to say nothing of kidnappings and ransoms…do not exactly have clean hands.
but i suppose this case has a lot to do with freedom of textile.
wow
, we need to support them
we “Arabs” are good in “boycotting BS”, well we should also support the supporters ….
thx for the share
Nas, see, when you put it that way…
I guess they focused on the “freedom fighters” part. and you know, the end justifies the means maybe? some people actually live by that rule.
Amjad, thank you for reading. we should support Palestine’s fight against occupation that’s for sure, not sure if that’s what happens when the proceeds go to PLFP and FARC though.
