- The action taken against Eriksson constituted a violation of his freedom of speech – and freedom of opinion, according to the Ombudsman.
“The constitutional protection of freedom of speech means that, amongst other things, the public may not take action against any individual who has exercised their freedom of speech. There are no grounds for an exception in this case,” the Ombudsman wrote.







For the last few days young Muslim immigrants in the RosengÃ¥rd district of Malmö have been rioting. The trouble started over the closure of a storefront mosque, and escalated to the point where RosengÃ¥rd resembles the banlieues of Paris, with burning cars, rock-throwing “youths”, Molotov cocktails, and violent battles with police.Â
