Police Foiled Suspected Female Genital Mutilation – Saved a Little Girl

A young girl under the age of five is suspected of having been about to undergo female genital mutilation at a beauty salon in Uppsala. The police raided the premises after a period of surveillance—and reportedly caught the suspects in the act.

A major police operation in Uppsala has uncovered allegations of a serious case of child abuse. Eight people were arrested on Sunday after police raided a beauty salon.

Around 11 a.m., police raided a beauty salon in Sala Backe. According to SVT The police had been monitoring the address for quite some time. Aftonbladet reports that a girl under the age of five was about to undergo female genital mutilation when the police intervened. One of those arrested was reportedly wearing a doctor's uniform and holding surgical instruments.

Seven Released—Suspicions Remain

A man has been arrested on probable cause on suspicion of aggravated assault. The other seven people arrested have been released but remain suspects. The prosecutor Emma Haals states that the investigation is continuing with interviews and technical examinations. A decision on whether to request the man's detention must be made by Wednesday at the latest.

Kristersson: The perpetrators must be locked up

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson He has reacted strongly to the reports and is demanding that those responsible be prosecuted. In a statement to Aftonbladet, he asserts that individuals who commit this type of abuse should receive severe punishment and that foreign nationals should also be deported after serving their sentences.

”Those who subject girls and women to this kind of brutal abuse must not get away with it. The perpetrators must be prosecuted and locked up. And if they are not Swedish citizens, they must also leave the country after serving their sentences.”, Kristersson writes.

Female genital mutilation is prohibited in Sweden and can cause severe, lifelong injuries. Despite this, there are left-leaning actors who try to shift the focus away from the abuse itself and instead argue that addressing it would cast suspicion on immigrant groups where it occurs.

This was the case with a number of doctors—including three Swedish women—who, at the end of the summer, wanted the term ”genital practices” to be used instead of “female genital mutilation.”.

  1. I really miss the days when our wonderful Finnish neighbors were the largest immigrant group in Sweden. Genital mutilation and the Gender Reassignment/Mutilation Act DID NOT EXIST.
    Gender-Transitioning Ulf, stop throwing stones in a glass house.

  2. Tough Uffe?
    What difference does it make whether they’re ”Swedish citizens” or not? As far as I’m concerned, everyone involved should be arrested and put on the first flight home—even the beauty salon owners, including all their parents and siblings. This kind of crap shouldn’t be allowed to happen in Sweden—when are you going to get this, Tuffe Uffe??????
