According to the report, one of the policemen fired his service weapon and fired a number of shots into the air. This happened in connection with the police deciding to dissolve the general meeting in Sveaparken.
When the police fire their service weapon, the special prosecutor’s office investigates whether the police have done anything wrong. Now the prosecutor in the case has come to the conclusion that the police did not commit any misconduct.
– They have had the right to defend themselves and their bodies, so serious was the attack, says Per Nichols, chief prosecutor at the special prosecutor’s office.
According to the prosecutor, it is about self-defense.
– The police have the right to use force with the support of law and the violence directed at the police in this case has been so serious that they have the right to defend themselves with self-defense. I have judged that there was an emergency right, they have the right to defend themselves from being attacked with deadly force, says Per Nichols.
