The men were sentenced in the district court to prison for, among other things, gross blue light sabotage, but now want to see the case tried in the Court of Appeal. Two of the men were also sentenced to deportation from Sweden.
All four men demand that the sentences be changed to violent riots, and that the prison sentence be shortened. The men sentenced to deportation also want to see their deportations written off or fixed-term.
The verdicts are based on the riot in Sveaparken in April, when hundreds of police officers were exposed to stone-throwing and when four police buses were set on fire.
