The Committee against the Finnish White Terror (Swedish: Kommittén mot den finska vita terrorn) was an organization in Sweden, formed at the end of the Finnish Civil War. The Committee mobilized political opinion against the repression against the labour movement (White terror) and raised funds for humanitarian aid to the victims of the repression. The Committee also opposed denials of political asylum for Finnish refugees.
Sven Linderot was one of the three members of the Committee. The Committee managed to gather 21 851,53 Swedish krona, 14518,73 for Finnish refugees in Sweden and 6 920 krona for affected in Finland. The Committee published 100 000 leaflets titled 'Truth about Finland', and more than 100 public meetings were organized.[1]
