HASTINGS — A national right-to-die group convicted of assisting in the 2007 suicide of a Minnesota woman was ordered Monday to pay a $30,000 fine — the maximum sentence allowed under state law.

Final Exit Network Inc. was convicted in May of assisting in the suicide of Doreen Dunn, a 57-year-old Apple Valley woman who took her life after a decade of suffering from chronic pain. In addition to the fine, the group was also ordered to pay nearly $3,000 to Dunn’s family to cover funeral expenses.

Judge Christian Wilton gave the group until Oct. 2 to pay the fine and restitution. He placed the group on probation — restricting the group’s activities in Minnesota — until the fine is paid. Probation will be lifted once payments are made.

Robert Rivas, the group’s attorney, told the judge that Final Exit Network is “unrepentant.” After the hearing, he said the group will continue to operate in Minnesota and won’t change its policies because of this case. But Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said his office is exploring an injunction to stop the group’s activities, which he called legally wrong and “morally reprehensible.”

Rivas said the group will pay the fine this week in order to end the probationary period that could interrupt its services.

Final Exit Network, founded in 2004, is a nonprofit group that said it has about 3,000 members. It is run by volunteers who believe mentally competent adults have a right to end their lives if they suffer from unbearable pain.
