– It was so brutal, says Tino Åberg about his image of the Ax. Among other things, he could see fish gasping for breath as the water sank.
It is about Lake Yxern which is located in Västervik municipality. Summer after summer, the lake has more or less dried up when the water levels are regulated. SVT has previously met Tino Åberg who has become a symbol of the fight for the Ax.
And on Wednesday, the Land and Environment Court announced its ruling that the lake should no longer be regulated.
See the pictures from Tino’s fight and hear him comment on the verdict in the clip.
