Ministry of Justice, Finland

If you feel threatened or harassed, you can apply for a restraining order against the person threatening you. The decision to impose a restraining order is made by the district court. A temporary restraining order with immediate effect may also be issued by the police. All possible evidence of threatening behaviour should be kept.

For further information about restraining orders you can visit the police website www.poliisi.fi and the Ministry of Justice website (brochure).
