BACKGROUND – CASE: COVIDPASS

On January 24, 2025, Mika Vauhkala submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn previous rulings. The case began in December 2021, when Vauhkala was denied entry to a Fazer café in Helsinki for not presenting a COVID pass. He filed a civil lawsuit in early 2022 against the State of Finland and Fazer Ravintolat Oy to challenge the legality of the restriction. The trial took place in April 2024 at the Helsinki District Court and attracted international attention.

To our knowledge, this is the only case in the EU—and possibly in the world—where both a state and a major corporation have been sued over a COVID pass.

DAVID VS. GOLIATH – A CITIZEN VS. BIG INSTITUTIONS

This case has become a challenge to the agendas of the Finnish State, the EU Commission, and the WHO.

Mika Vauhkala is confronting critical issues in public health governance, civil liberties, and human rights.

This fight is quite literally a modern-day “David vs. Goliath.”

TOTAL COSTS

The total costs related to the case have risen to nearly EUR 200,000, including Vauhkala’s legal expenses, his team’s costs, and debts to the state and Fazer.

FINANCIAL STATUS – KEY LIABILITIES

Estimated reimbursement claims for the opponents’ legal costs (based on the Court of Appeal ruling):

Approximately EUR 94,000 owed to the State of Finland (EUR 87,500 principal + interest)

Approximately EUR 17,000 owed to Fazer Ravintolat Oy (EUR 16,460 principal + interest)

In addition:

EUR 2,780.59 owed to Mika Vauhkala’s Finnish lawyer Aki Nummelin

Note: Both the State of Finland and Fazer Ravintolat Oy have indicated that they will not initiate enforcement proceedings until the Supreme Court has ruled on the leave to appeal application, which was filed in January 2025. If leave is granted and Vauhkala wins, the matter may be resolved nationally without the need to proceed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

PURPOSE OF FUNDRAISING

Donations will be used for the following purposes:

Reimbursements to the State of Finland and Fazer Ravintolat Oy

Outstanding legal fees

Additional legal representation and expert opinions

Fees for witnesses and expert witnesses

Legal costs at the Supreme Court and potential ECHR proceedings

Translation of legal documents

Travel and accommodation expenses

Costs of obtaining legal documents

Other legal process-related expenses managed by Me Kansalaiset Ry

If the court orders reimbursement of expenses that were covered by donations, Vauhkala commits to reinvesting those funds in the defense of human rights.

PREPARATIONS FOR ECHR PROCEEDINGS

If the case proceeds beyond Finland, surplus donations will be used to establish a EUR 50,000 contingency fund for ECHR proceedings.

If necessary, Vauhkala’s representative will be French human rights attorney Virginie de Araújo-Recchia.

EXTRA DONATIONS

If ECHR proceedings are not needed—or if the full EUR 50,000 is not used or is only partially used—the unused portion and any excess donations will be given to Mika Vauhkala and reported to the tax authority as donation-derived income.

TESTIMONIES

Aseem Malhotra, an internationally known cardiologist, testified about safety risks associated with COVID vaccines.

Hanna Nohynek, a leading expert on vaccinations and Finnish health policy, confirmed that the COVID pass was an EU Commission pilot project and that vaccinated individuals could also transmit the virus.

Astrid Stuckelberger testified in court that the PCR test is not suitable for diagnostics and produced 97% false positives in Finland.

COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Vauhkala is seeking compensation for violations of human rights and anti-discrimination laws:

EUR 10,000 from Fazer Ravintolat Oy

EUR 10,000 from the State of Finland

If the EUR 20,000 in compensation is awarded, Vauhkala has pledged to donate the amount in accordance with his commitment to supporters in Finland.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This is a fight to hold those in power accountable and to safeguard fundamental freedoms.

The outcome could set legal precedents in Finland, across Europe, and globally—shaping the conversation about individual rights and government overreach.
