A 16-year-old girl has been sentenced to 30 days of conditional imprisonment for praising Hamas’s attacks on Israel, according to Ritzau.
Under an article titled “Live: Israel attacked with missiles” on Ekstra Bladet’s Facebook page, the girl wrote: “Yass,” followed by a heart-eye emoji and the Palestinian flag.
The girl, who has family in the conflict-affected area, stated in Aalborg court that she had not read the article.
“I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn’t know Hamas was behind it,” she said in court.
She is considering whether to appeal the case to the high court.

I mean, she’s also in a current legal battle for her future right now. I dunno about y’all but I’d sing whatever song my lawyer told me to. I don’t feel as though me standing by my beliefs in this situation would particularly benefit anyone.
