SD Members Blocked the Deportation of a Robber Who Committed a Humiliating Crime

A 20-year-old Syrian man convicted of a particularly degrading robbery—in which the victim was forced to strip naked and was assaulted—will now avoid deportation after serving his sentence. The decision by the Court of Appeals was unanimous, and among those who voted to allow him to remain in Sweden was a lay judge from the Sweden Democrats.

A 20-year-old man from Syria who was convicted of a aggravated robbery involving humiliation in Limhamn will be allowed to remain in Sweden after serving his sentence. The Court of Appeals chose to overturn the district court’s decision to deport him, even though the crime involved forcing the victim to strip naked, assaulting him, and subjecting him to extortion.

The man and several other young immigrants lured the victim to a schoolyard via Snapchat. There, he was threatened with a knife, robbed of his jewelry and cell phones, assaulted, and forced to be filmed naked. A video of the assault was later found on one of the perpetrators’ cell phones.

The District Court wanted to deport him—the Court of Appeals said no

In district court, the 20-year-old man was sentenced to two years in prison and deportation for ten years. The Court of Appeals upheld the prison sentence but decided to allow him to remain in Sweden. The court found that deportation would be disproportionate, citing, among other things, the man’s age, length of stay in Sweden, and family ties.

The decision was unanimous. Among the five members of the Court of Appeals were two lay judges—one of whom was from the Sweden Democrats.

SD lay judge supported the decision

According to Samnytt, one of the lay judges who participated in the decision to halt the deportation Per Friberg from the Sweden Democrats. Although the SD generally takes a very restrictive stance on immigration issues, Friberg chose to support the Court of Appeals’ decision to allow the convicted person to remain in the country.

The case has drawn strong criticism, not least because the crime is described as a typical humiliating robbery with significant elements of a violation of personal integrity. The fact that an SD lay judge voted in favor of allowing the man to remain in the country has therefore attracted particular attention.

  1. THESE DISGUSTING SWEDISH DEMOCRATS!!!! :-(
    If it had been Per Friberg’s son or daughter who had been the victim of a humiliating robbery, this person would not have voted the way he did regarding the aforementioned ”man.”.

    The whole 8-clover is JUNK!!!!

  2. Why isn't anyone surprised?
    Just think how many people are still defending the SD with all sorts of arguments—it just doesn’t sink in with these sheep that they’re being duped. There are many of us who’ve figured it out and are now voting accordingly.
