Sweden: The Violence Is "Extremely Serious"
The police statement did not mention that two boys were raped, tortured and nearly buried alive in a cemetery close to Stockholm. The atrocity added to the growing number of so-called "humiliation crimes". These are crimes where the victim is not only robbed, but also violently humiliated to demonstrate the power of the perpetrator. Another such humiliation crime, for instance, took place in Gothenburg in October 2019, when a criminal gang forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stomped on his face until he lost consciousness.
"Sweden is losing control of its
own territory," Ivar Arpi, a Swedish columnist, recently told the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende."These
heinous crimes and humiliations are connected to a ghetto culture...
Journalists do not like to write about it, politicians do not want to talk
about it and researchers do not want to touch it. There is a systematic
ignorance."
