Swedish Youth Group Calls for Deportation of \u201cIslamists\u201d After Easter Unrest
\n———————————————
\nUngsvenskarna, the youth wing of the Sweden Democrats party, has called for the expulsion of all those it described as \u201cIslamists\u201d from Sweden, following new charges brought against individuals involved in the 2022 Easter riots in the city of Norrk\u00f6ping.<\/p>\n
In a post on the social media platform X, the organization said the riots were \u201cone of the consequences of reckless mass immigration,\u201d and shared an image calling for the deportation of all Islamists from the country. The statement came after Swedish prosecutors filed new charges against three men accused of taking part in the Easter disturbances, which erupted in response to authorized demonstrations involving the burning of the Quran.<\/p>\n
The remarks have renewed controversy surrounding Ungsvenskarna\u2019s leadership. In November, the organization\u2019s chair, Denise Westerberg, sparked backlash after stating that \u201cthere is no place for Islam in Sweden\u201d and calling for a ban on the construction of new mosques.<\/p>\n
Swedish authorities charged three men aged between 22 and 31, including a Palestinian national, with offenses related to stone-throwing, erecting barricades, and attacking police during the unrest. Prosecutors have requested the permanent deportation of the Palestinian man if he is convicted.<\/p>\n
More than 300 people across Sweden were convicted in connection with the Easter riots, including 25 individuals in Norrk\u00f6ping alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
