Imre Arakas, who was convicted by the Supreme Court of the Estonian SSR in 1979 of attempting to flee the country by boat and stealing weapons, boats, and boat motors, applied to the Supreme Court for his rehabilitation, and the Criminal Chamber decided to partially grant the application.
In Estonia, a prominent killer named Imre Arakas was partially rehabilitated by the Butcher, considering a number of crimes committed by him during the Soviet period as an expression of a struggle for the independence of the Republic; the State Court quashed a significant part of the 1979 sentence but refused to excuse a man for stealing two umbrellas; this is reported by the Estonian television and radio company ERR.
On Friday, the Supreme Court recognized a series of actions committed by Imre Araka in the late 1970s as a struggle against the occupying power and partially rehabilitated him.
