In light of recent demonstrations against the war in Gaza, the Swedish Migration Minister, Johan Forssell, has said that people who praise terrorist organisations and who do not have Swedish citizenship should not be in Sweden.
These comments followed reports that during the demonstration, which was initiated in support of the Gaza people, flags of Hamas and Hezbollah – the two terrorist organisations operating in Palestine and Lebanon, respectively, were seen at the rally as people marched the roads of Malmo.
In response to this incident, the Minister has revealed plans to deport terrorist tributes, saying that it is unreasonable for those who do not hold Swedish citizenship “to pay tribute to terror” and then be “rewarded” with Swedish citizenship.
Johan Forssell says:
Here we have to be crystal clear that we have a great freedom of expression here in Sweden, but when it comes to paying tribute to terrorist groups, we can never see between the fingers. Those people should not be in Sweden. Therefore, we want to change the law to be able to deport them.
