Attack on the Liberals’ office in Eskilstuna

An activist group has carried out an attack on the Liberals’ office in Eskilstuna.
– The damage to the party office in Eskilstuna is abhorrent, the protesters have crossed a line, says party leader Johan Pehrson to TV4 Nyheterna.

A pro-Palestinian activist group has carried out a paint attack against the Liberals’ office in Eskilstuna in protest against the party’s attempt to close Gothenburg’s student tent camp for Palestine.

The Liberals’ party leader Johan Pehrson describes the attack as “abhorrent” and that “the demonstrators have crossed a line”.

– In Sweden, we follow laws and regulations, even in situations that affect us deeply. Freedom of speech is for everyone, it threatens democracy when demonstrators try to silence opinions through harassment, threats and vandalism, says Johan Pehrson to TV4 Nyheterna.

The activist group Palestine Action Sweden themselves show pictures from the attack on their Instagram account.

“We urge everyone to protect the tent camp or demonstrate outside the Liberals’ office in your city. The students demand that the University of Gothenburg end collaborations with Israel,” the group writes in a post.
