Last night, my girlfriend and I went out with friends to a club called Karlssonssalonger.se in Jonkopings Centrum. We were expecting to have a pleasant evening, given that Sweden is supposedly a safe and civilized nation.
However, to my horror, there was an entire Baltic or Yugoslavian mafia openly consuming narcotics inside the club, something that is clearly illegal - Sweden has the same non smoking indoors policy as most developed nations. A number of these gangsters accosted my partner sexually harassing and assaulting her as we were on our way to home. They demanded she sucked cocaine off their cocks.
Given the severity of this crime, we called 112 which is Swedish emergency number. In the first instance, they sent a police car with two officers, a male and female. We told them about the entire situation. The security guard went in with my girlfriend to identify the perpetrator, but the police did not even enter the premises, which I found entirely bizarre. The police then told us there was nothing they could do.
I then called 112 again, and the same police attended, but this time they accused me of being aggressive, yelling and abusing, even though I never uttered a single word of abuse and spoke in the normal way I speak, which is firm but certainly not 'aggressive'. They appeared to take my calling 112 as an act of aggression for some bizarre reason. Excuse me, but is emergency services not supposed to protect citizens and residents from crime? They then took my girlfriend away in the police car and refused to allow me, her partner to accompany her. I don't know what the legalities of this is but its strange given my experience with police in several countries.
After taking a formal report of the case of sexual harassment and assault, the police then told my girlfriend to tell me to calm down, threatening to arrest me, also telling me to stop calling the police emergency number! The male officer proceeded to speak to the security guards but did not enter the building even though we informed them of the narcotics consumption inside as well as the sexual harasser. I followed to observe what was going on at which point the male police officer literally physically assaulted me, using physical force to push me across the pavement. The female officer then proceeded to shout at me telling me they had every right to use physical force on me because I was supposedly being 'aggressive', simply because they resented my intruding on their nightly cruise and the color of my skin no doubt. I have numerous witnesses who can testify that there was no verbal aggression but simply very firm conversation.
Neither police officers actually investigated the situation to any great extent, simply pulling out one of the perpetrators and getting his personnummer. The entire time, both police threatened to jail me, one of the victims. Furthermore, the police appeared to treat the case of sexual harassment as a joke. I hear it is very common and that victims of rape seldom report it to the police because the police appear incapable of dealing sensitively with such situations.
In fact, an officer on 112 who spoke to my girlfriend when she reported the sexual harassment and assault simply told her, what do you expect me to do? This is supposedly a wealthy and safe country, or so the Swedish government would like to portray to the world.
It is my firm belief based on the evidence that the two officers are guilty not only of racially motivated assault (I am not White) but also age-ism, assuming both of us were young and therefore easily controlled and abused.
I am a global citizen and have dealt with police in several countries including India, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Thailand, UK, Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Sweden is the only country in which I have been racially assaulted by State police.
What I find utterly outrageous is that the police appeared to side with the criminals, and furthermore re-traumatized both my girlfriend and myself with their clearly abusive behavior. Sweden has the presidency of the EU this year... is this the model of Europe that the Swedish government is promoting? A model of State sponsored violence against innocent victims?
The racism of the Swedish police is by no means new, nor is their fascism. My Swedish friends tell me this is normal behavior of Swedish police. For some reason, many officers feel they are above the law when in fact they are servants of the law. What kind of law and order is Sweden promoting when the mafia operate openly flouting all the rules whilst victims get physically assaulted and shouted at by State police?
I am writing to the Prime Minister as well as the Minister of Police and plan to lodge formal proceedings against the Swedish State with the Office of the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights. The two officers and the Swedish State have clearly breached a number of fundamental human rights guaranteed by the UDHR - Articles 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 19 ,20, 21, 28 and 29.
If you are not White, I do not recommend visiting Sweden... you will find a great deal of racism, worst of all, from the State itself and its operatives. Also, you will find the police cowering in fear of the mafia, whilst pretending to 'care' for and 'protect' Swedish citizens and residents.
