At 11 o’clock on Monday, Örebro District Court announced a verdict in the case where four people were charged with gross blue light sabotage in Örebro during the Easter weekend 2022. All four are sentenced to prison terms of between four and five and a half years. Two of them will also be deported. The criminal classification is gross sabotage against blue light activities for all four, while two are also convicted of violence against an official. We broadcast live in the player below. During the Easter weekend, riots broke out in several places as a result of Rasmus Paludan’s planned burning of the Koran. Paludan, party leader for the right-wing extremist Tight Course, visited – or planned to visit – Örebro, Linköping, Norrköping, Landskrona, Malmö and the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby, something that was followed by violent riots with vandalism and violence mainly aimed at the police. More than a hundred police officers were injured in connection with the riots.
