Greater Stockholm local traffic (SL) must pay eight million kroner in fines for how the company’s controllers used body cameras, writes DN.
According to the Swedish Data Protection Agency, the cameras were used in a way that violated the data protection regulation – they recorded for too long and the cameras have been used to identify thieves more easily.

The twist: “Iran’s pardon a hoax”

The Center for Human Rights in Iran dismisses Iran’s amnesty for “tens of thousands of prisoners” as a hoax.
Several hundred people were killed by Iranian security forces in the protests that erupted across the country last year, after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in the custody of Iran’s morality police in Tehran.
According to the human rights organization, it is unlikely that a large number of prisoners would be released.
– The pardons appear to be more propaganda than concern a large number of political prisoners, says head Hadi Ghaemi.
– At best, a few protesters are released.

Do you know what Annie Lööf will do now and will she receive any severance pay?
Monica
In an interview with DN in December, Annie Lööf said that she wants to continue working with social change, perhaps in equality, diversity or green transition. But first she will take it easy for a few weeks and be with her family.
Politicians do not receive severance pay. However, the Riksdag has a special income guarantee after a member resigns or is dismissed. It lasts up to 15 years.
The Stockholm Stock Exchange went up by over 4% today, but not a word written about this by AB?
