Iranian media: Tens of thousands of prisoners receive amnesty
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has granted amnesty to “tens of thousands of prisoners” sentenced after the widespread protests last year. This is reported by the regime-controlled news agency Fars and the news agency ISNA.
According to ISNA, the amnesty does not apply to those convicted of espionage, contact with foreign intelligence or destruction of public property.

Nearly 20,000 were arrested, and over 100 of them have been charged with crimes punishable by death. Four death row inmates have been executed.

A playground at a preschool in Lorensborg in Malmö has been cordoned off.

Something that should have been revealed in a report already seven years ago, but which was discovered only now, reveals South Sweden.
The area will now be re-examined to investigate how extensive the pollution is.
– We have very limited information at the moment. That’s why it’s really important to take additional samples so that we can find out more, says environmental inspector Louise Lindblom, to the newspaper.

Bennett: Putin promised not to kill Zelenskyi
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not be killed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to have promised Israel’s former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, according to Bennett himself, Norwegian NTB reports.
The promise must have come in connection with a meeting in Moscow in March last year.
Bennett claims he asked Putin if Russia would try to kill Zelensky, something the Russian president allegedly denied at the time.
– I am not going to kill Zelenskyi, was Putin’s answer, claims Bennett.
After the meeting, Bennett says he called Zelensky to break the news. The Ukrainian president is said to have then asked if he was absolutely sure of this.
– I said I was 100 percent sure he won’t kill you, says Bennett.

The Swedish Energy Agency: Risk of electricity shortages in 2027
If large green industrial projects are not to be threatened, wind power must be expanded more quickly. This is what Svenska Kraftnät and the Energy Agency think, report SVT.
– We see how industry’s electricity needs are increasing much faster than the expansion of new electricity, and from 2027 Sweden may have a deficit in electricity, says Mattias Jonsson, head of unit at Svenska kraftnät.
Only land-based wind power can provide enough electricity quickly, according to the Energy Agency.
– We see a risk that large industrial investments cannot be realized if we do not get a faster expansion of electricity production started, says Martin Johansson, at the Energy Agency.

Do you know what Annie Lööf will do now and will she receive any severance pay?
Monica
In an interview with DN in December, Annie Lööf said that she wants to continue working with social change, perhaps in equality, diversity or green transition. But first she will take it easy for a few weeks and be with her family.
Politicians do not receive severance pay. However, the Riksdag has a special income guarantee after a member resigns or is dismissed. It lasts up to 15 years.
