A Danish family gave Syrian refugees a lift from Southern Denmark to Copenhagen train station and also gave them a cup of coffee and cookies.

Then they got convicted for people smuggling and got a fine of 45,000 krone (£5,200.
They appealed their sentence, but the High Court in Denmark increased the penalty to 50,000 krone (£5,700) on Thursday.

Being a good person to our fellow human beings is apparently illegal in Denmark :grr:

That's disgusting. They had no idea. Syrian refugees have become half the population here (nope, not exaggerating), and Denmark is fining people for helping some of them probably not die. :applause:

chaeri pls

:wtf: convict real smugglers instead maybe?

Denmark has been one of the messiest EU members (together with the UK, Poland and Hungary) for some time now so I can't say this surprises me.

How does that math work??

45,000 = 5200

50,000 = 5700

5,000 increase = 500 pounds, yet if that were the case then 45,000 should be 4,500 pounds ya?

random and off topic but it bothers me lmao

The 500 figure is probably rounded, because a number like 544 would look weird.

"a lift and coffee" :usrs: 

160 km :usrs:

let me bold some text for those who couldn't bother to read any further

"...picked up refugees on September 7th last year after a train from Germany was stopped in the Danish border town of Rødby where asylum seekers fled police on the station platform, running into the surrounding fields to start their long walk along a motorway to Sweden... it is illegal to “assist” or transport anyone without residence permits in the country, with the crime punishable for a fine or up to two years imprisonment."
