Journalists from Finland's largest newspaper accused of publishing classified defence intelligence – unprecedented case for the country renowned for its press freedom

I was going to say that some amount of such cases are acceptable and actually beneficial: Laws are often vague and without further context insufficient to know whether what you intend to do is illegal or not. Sadly. Court cases help clarify just what is entailed by the law. So in the ideal world, you'd see an acquittal and clear reasoning from the court as to where exactly the line is. That helps everyone going forward.

But then this:

Aho said it was problematic that most of the legal proceedings in the case had taken place behind closed doors and called for the court to publish its reasoning to explain on what grounds freedom of speech could be restricted if the journalists were found guilty.

I mean, I get that you can't really talk about the entirety of the case without talking about classified information. But that's hardly an excuse to completely curb transparency here.
