Kalle Juhonpoika Hakala (18 March 188016 May 1947) was a Finnish newspaper editor, politician and member of the Parliament of Finland, the national legislature of Finland. A member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), he represented Mikkeli Province between October 1934 and May 1947.[1] He had previously represented Mikkeli Province from February 1911 to May 1918 and from May 1924 to August 1933.[1] He was imprisoned for a year following the end of the Finnish Civil War.

Early life

Hakala was born on 18 March 1880 in Lempäälä in the south-west of the Grand Duchy of Finland.[1] He was the son of farmworker Juha Hakala and Wilhelmina Myllymäki.[1] He was a machinist (1897-1907) and editor of the Vapaus newspaper in Mikkeli (1907-1918).[1]

Politics, civil war and imprisonment

Hakala was elected to the Parliament of Finland at the 1911 parliamentary election.[2] [3] He was re-elected at the 1913, 1916 and 1917 parliamentary elections.[4] [5] [6]

Following the Finnish Revolution, Hakala was elected to the Central Workers' Council of Finland, the legislature of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic (the Reds), in February 1918.[7] [8] He was secretary of the revolutionary government's agriculture department.[9] [10]

In early May 1918 the Whites published a list of leaders of the "Red Rebellion" (the failed Finnish Revolution) which included 37 SDP MPs:[11] [12] Hakala was included on the list due to his membership of the Central Workers' Council.[11] [12] On 14 May 1918 White prosecutor Immi Savonius announded that 56 SDP MPs, including Hakala, would be charged with treason and ordered their arrest.[13] [14]

On 12 October 1918 the 28th Department of the State Criminal Court (Valtiorikosoikeus) handed down sentences to 40 SDP MPs for treason and high treason.[15] [16] Hakala was found guilty of assisting treason and high treason and sentenced to eight years imprisonment and lost his civic rights for ten years.[17] [18] [19] In January 1919 the Appellate Court of the State Criminal Court confirmed the sentence handed down against Hakala by the 28th Department.[20] [21]

Hakala was amongst twelve SDP MPs who were pardoned by Regent Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim on 19 June 1919 as they did not take an active part in the rebellion.[22] [23] He was released from Sörnäinen Prison on Midsummer Eve 1919.[24]

Return to politics

Hakala was literary editor of the Työväe co-operative in Mikkeli from 1921 to 1925.[1] He was editor-in-chief of Vapaus from 1933 to 1947.[1] He was re-elected to the Parliament of Finland at the 1924 parliamentary election.[25] [26] He was re-elected at the 1927, 1929 and 1930 parliamentary elections.[27] [28] [29] He was not re-elected at the 1933 parliamentary election but in October 1934 replaced Oskari Salonen in Parliament.[30] [31] He was re-elected at the 1936, 1939 and 1945 parliamentary elections.[32] [33] [34]

Hakala was a presidential elector at the 1931, 1937, 1940 and 1943 presidential elections.[1] He was a member of Mikkeli City Council.[1] Following the defeat of Finland by the Allies in the Continuation War, Hakala was one of the twelve parliament appointed tribunal judges of the war crimes trials of the war-time political leaders of Finland.[35] [36] Eleven out of the fifteen members of the tribunal, including Hakala, voted to convict the defendants in February 1946.[37] [38]

Hakala died on 16 May 1947 in Mikkeli after a long illness.[39] [40]
