Kohti Vapautta! (transl. Towards Freedom!^[2]) is a Finnish neo-Nazi organization.^[3] It was founded in 2019, and was named after traditional Independence Day rallies.^[4] According to the Finnish government, the group is the Finnish branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has been banned by the Pirkanmaa District Court.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Formation and structure

In 2016, the Nordic Resistance Movement organized a neo-Nazi march in the Finnish capital

Nazi flags.^[10]

In Spring 2019, the organizers of the march announced the formation of the Kohti Vapautta! group.[3] The group was formed in anticipation of the ban on the previous group, although the new group was for a time itself expected to be banned.^[2] The National Bureau of Investigation suspects the Nordic Resistance Movement to be continuing its operations under the names Kohti Vapautta! and Suomalaisapu.^[11]^[12]
