The child murderer ”Lily” refuses to sit with men—was placed in solitary confinement following the protests

Paulus ”Lily” Abdelshahed, the child murderer, has been transferred from the women’s prison in Ystad to a men’s wing. But he refuses to accept the decision. After just a few hours, he protested his new placement and was placed in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, female inmates have long been raising the alarm about his behavior.

The child murderer sentenced to life in prison Paulus ”Lily” Abdelshahed has been transferred to the prison in Tidaholm. He was convicted in 2024 of murdering his two children, ages seven and eight. After legally changing his gender, he had previously been serving his sentence at the women’s prison in Ystad.

Now he is to be placed in a men's unit instead. But according to documents obtained by Expressen, he refuses to agree to this. The Prison and Probation Service states that he ”refuses to be placed in a men’s ward”. After just under six hours, he said he couldn't stay and was subsequently placed in solitary confinement.

The women had already sounded the alarm

At the women’s prison in Ystad, several inmates had reported incidents of indecent exposure, sexual harassment, and fear of using the showers. Staff and union representatives had also raised the alarm. Despite this, it wasn’t until Expressen investigated the case that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service decided to relocate the inmates.

Nine days after the revelation, Abdelshahed was transferred to Tidaholm. That facility also has women’s wings, but the Prison and Probation Service has decided to place him with the men for security reasons. His protests have not yet changed that decision.

The complaining didn't change anything

According to Expressen, Abdelshahed had not appealed the transfer at the time of publication. Instead, he has refused to go to the unit selected by the Prison and Probation Service. Prison Director Mikael Wallin emphasizes that the inmates’ own behavior influences how the agency handles them.

The case has also sparked renewed criticism of the Gender Recognition Act. Fifteen transgender women have demanded that the law be repealed, while RFSL defends it. At the same time, an investigation is underway into the rules governing the placement of prisoners who have changed their legal gender.

  1. Send ”Lily” to the toughest men’s division, and let’s see how long he survives.
    How about a little betting game? It would be fun to bet on how many minutes that jerk would survive—maybe something for Svenska Spel?
