Vaasa riot information


Members of the Lapua Movement assaults Eino Nieminen, a Red officer and the publisher of the communist Työn Ääni newspaper, in the Vaasa riot

The Vaasa riot took place on 4 June 1930 in Vaasa, Finland. The riot unfolded with a violent attack by radical members of the right wing Lapua Movement on Communist supporters and bystanders at a court house in Vaasa. No intervention was witnessed of the police, as the police stood watching the attack.

There were no fatalities or serious injuries reported. However, in the aftermath of the attack, a Finnish member of parliament was kidnapped, beaten and later released.[1]

The Vaasa riot signalled the defeat of moderate elements in the Lapua movement which is popularly believed to stand for non-violence and rule of law. As the radicals gained control over the movement, the movement saw promotion of violence and political terror later that year.[2]
