The process is run as an independent group under the Ministry of Justice, where three deaf people are employed to lead the work. According to Johanna Mesch, the group is currently working to collect various abuses and violations that deaf people have been subjected to, both today and in the past. The documentation will be compiled into a final report to be submitted in 2027.
According to SVT Nyheter, Juhana Salonen described pride in the inclusion of deaf people in the leadership, emphasizing the significance of their involvement. The specific abuses and violations being collected have not been detailed, and the scope or methodology of the investigation remains unclear. Additionally, the identities of the other two deaf leaders besides Salonen are unknown, as is the plan for action after the report's submission in 2027.
I am very proud that it is we three deaf people who are working on this, that they have chosen to include deaf people in the work. It feels big.
The group's independence from the Ministry of Justice has not been explicitly addressed in available reports.
