A pro-Kurdish activist from Rojavakommittéerna is awaiting a verdict at Solna District Court after being charged with unlawful threats and aggravated unlawful threats. According to SVT Nyheter, the 40-year-old activist admitted to placing a basket of green apples with Hitler faces outside Migration Minister Johan Forssell's home in January. He also acknowledged leaving a human-like doll with a plastic knife-like object and fake blood outside Development Minister Benjamin Dousa's residence.
The activist denies criminal intent, claiming his actions were meant to criticize the government's Syria policy rather than threaten the ministers. The case has sparked controversy, with criminologist Leif GW Persson facing criticism for supporting the activist's freedom of speech argument, while free speech expert Nils Funcke has agreed the actions should be protected under freedom of expression. The verdict is expected at 11:00.
