Fighters+Lovers is a group consisting of 7 Danish people. The group has made a clothing company, brand and record label〔(Fighters+Lovers About page )〕 which sells controversial T-shirts, perfumes and CDs.〔 (Fighters+Lovers official homepage )〕 The T-shirts feature logos of the FARC and the PFLP. These groups have been labeled by the United States Government and the European Union as terrorist groups. The company sold the T-shirts and collected 24.982 DKK (about $5000) and they were going to send the money to a radio station run by FARC and a printing press run by PFLP, however the money never made it to these groups because the police arrested the 7 people in February 2006 and withheld the funds.〔 (Denmarks Radio ) on the case against Fighters+Lovers〕 On November 5, 2007 the group released a CD for sale called "Cumbia Clash – from the jungle to the streets"〔 (Fighersandlovers.com Cumbia Clash - music for fighters and lovers )〕 with songs supporting the FARC in techno/cumbia. During the event members of the company criticized the President of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe and described the country's political establishment as an "illegal state."〔( Revista Semana: Just what we needed: Danish launched cumbias with themes favoring FARC )〕 == Court cases == The seven members of Fighters+Lovers were accused by the Danish Prosecution Service of violating the European Union's anti-terrorism laws. On December 13, 2007 all seven accused were acquitted of the charges.〔 (Reuters: Danish T-shirt group acquitted of funding terrorism ).
