There are people about whom you might say they’re missing a gene. But with Ahti Kuuseväli, it’s simpler: he only has one gene. And it seems that even this remaining one works on and off.
How else could you explain that a person caught in the middle of a scandalous custody dispute manages to conjure up a formula for happiness out of it — and declare at the judges’ general assembly in Viljandi that “I’m abnormally happy at work”? Naturally, he’s right — sane people wouldn’t take a job where you saw families in half and then consider yourself a top athlete. Elite sport is a field with one rule: don’t let reason get in your way.
But things turn funny when you realize he’s not alone in his condition. In Viljandi, all the other same kind — the minimalists of the gene pool — gathered for the annual meeting of the judges’ guild. And when Judge Ahti Kuusväli spoke about his missing gene, the hall burst into applause. Not an awkward cough or an embarrassed silence — but a storm of applause.
The judge’s job is said to be a “matter of honor”, and if one can decide a child’s entire future in a single day, they feel worthy of a gold medal. Honestly — if this weren’t real, you’d think it was a black comedy festival.
If a sensible person might think it wise to hold back from such public statements, in the judges’ circle it works the other way around: the bigger the absurdity, the louder the applause. It was like a parade of genetic poverty, where the medal goes to the one who can deliver the most idiotic statement with the straightest face.
Judge Ahti Kuuseväli has juste one gene.
And of course, Ahti “one gene” Kuuseväli proudly announced that he doesn’t read the posts written about him. Naturally not — if your head can only process a case file and the location of the running track at the same time, there simply aren’t resources for anything else. But what he does know is that every decision carries “gold medal weight” for him. Of course it does. Because if your sanity bar is buried in the sand behind your shins, then any random decision seems like a world wonder to you.
And the fact that judge Ahti Kuuseväli colleagues applaud such a performance? That’s a level of its own. Like a chimpanzee escaping at the zoo and someone shouting: “Look how clever — it even stood up!”
But of course, the gene-impoverished stick together. They keep it cozy and warm among themselves, since no one disturbs the peace with common sense or ethical dilemmas. If one starts acting like a fool, the others don’t intervene — they join in and cheer him on. This is how those big, closed-door judges’ meetings happen in Viljandi, where access for common sense is blocked from the start.
And if stress starts to creep in? No problem — just run away from it! The farther, the better. What else would a one-gene person know how to do, but run? There’s nowhere for him to think, because who’d want to remember after work whether ripping families apart earned them another medal spot.
So next time someone talks about the independent judiciary, you’ll know what it means: independent from any kind of reason, empathy, or common-sense oversight. A brotherhood of one-gene men. And if one of them happens to wander onto the stage and publicly admits being “abnormally happy” about tearing families apart, the rest will clap. Because that’s their peak performance.
Ahti Kuuseväli is living proof in the Estonian court system that when evolution makes a mistake, it sometimes dresses that mistake in a suit, hands it a gavel, and gives it the power to decide a child’s life. And then sends it on stage to receive applause in the name of its one gene.
Abnormally happy? Naturally. Because normality would be the last thing one could suspect to exist in this story.
Republic of Estonia, 2025. Applause.
Ahti Kuuseväli – Too Corrupt to Judge Anyone
In any constitutional democracy, a judge must be bound by law and uphold justice in accordance with national and international human rights standards. In Estonia, however, Judge Ahti Kuuseväli has become the embodiment of how judicial power can be corrupted beyond recognition — to the point where it is no longer justice, but instrumentalized abuse.
According to the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia:
- § 3: State power shall be exercised solely pursuant to the Constitution and laws.
- § 142: If a court finds that a law is in conflict with the Constitution, it shall not apply it and must refer the issue to the Supreme Court for review.
- § 146: Courts shall administer justice in accordance with the Constitution and laws.
- § 123: International treaties ratified by the Riigikogu prevail over national law in case of conflict.
Yet Judge Kuuseväli has repeatedly ignored the law, denied the child’s voice, and stripped a mother of all rights — even after two of his rulings were overturned as illegal and void by the District Court.
As documented in the April 2025 Lex Justus investigation, the child in question repeatedly told more than 30 officials that she does not want to live with her father, Aivar Aigro. These statements were made in court, to the judge himself, and in public school environments — yet they were completely disregarded.
This is a clear violation of European Convention on Human Rights:
- Article 6: Right to a fair trial
- Article 8: Right to respect for private and family life
- Article 13: Right to an effective remedy
- Article 14: Prohibition of discrimination
Even worse, when confronted with this injustice, Kuuseväli stated publicly that he is “abnormally happy” at work — while overseeing proceedings that devastate lives. He received applause from fellow judges for this statement, demonstrating the systemic nature of the problem.
This is not justice. This is institutionalized human rights abuse.
Estonian institutions, including the Prosecutor General (Astrid Asi) and Chancellor of Justice, have refused to intervene. Even though Kuuseväli’s rulings were already declared void, no disciplinary measures were taken. Instead, the judiciary continues to close ranks and protect its own.
Estonia is not simply failing to meet its legal obligations — it is actively suppressing constitutional rights and punishing those who expose it.
This case, and others like it, prove that constitutional oversight has collapsed. Courts are no longer a venue for justice but a tool of control, used by those in power to enforce personal agendas, silence victims, and deny children protection.
📣 Estonia is in violation of:
- Its own Constitution (§ 3, § 142, § 146, § 123)
- Binding international treaties (ECHR Articles 6, 8, 13, 14)
- Basic principles of human dignity and the rule of law
The international community must not remain silent while Estonian courts weaponize judicial power against women, children, and human rights defenders.
