According to Sveriges Radio Nyheter, Michael Himmlegaard, the former head of the Sis facility Rebecka-hemmet in Stockholm, raised an alarm last year that girls at the facility were subjected to mistreatment, sexual abuse, and indefinite isolation. Mikael Smeds, chief lawyer at Akademikerförbundet, stated via Sveriges Radio Nyheter that Sis violated the Employment Protection Act by firing Himmlegaard because he, among other things, criticized the authority on social media. Sis, via Sveriges Radio Nyheter, maintains that it was the right decision to dismiss Michael Himmlegaard.
The specific evidence or details supporting the allegations of mistreatment, sexual abuse, and isolation at Rebecka-hemmet have not been disclosed publicly. It remains unclear what exact criticisms Himmlegaard made on social media that led to his dismissal, and Sis has not provided any justification or evidence for why dismissing him was the right decision. Additionally, it is unknown if there are any ongoing investigations or legal actions regarding the allegations at Rebecka-hemmet or Himmlegaard's dismissal, and the current status of the girls at Rebecka-hemmet and any measures taken in response to the alarm has not been confirmed.
