Several injured in counter-demonstration – Swedish Dagbladet

The troubles began even before. Counter-demonstrators threw smoke bombs and held up the Bengals against the police who tried to reassure counter-demonstrators. But the atmosphere worsened when some 20 policemen ridden into the square between protesters and SVP and later into a crowd. Five protesters should have been seriously injured during the demonstration and ambulance arrived at the scene, reports aftonbladet.se.

– We had to ride in to masked protesters had moved to the outside of the square, and we needed to make the arrests, said police press officer Ewa-Gun Westford.

Folk Films and throwing things at the police. “Today’s police protect tomorrow Hitler” chant a few. While showing pictures from the event the Mounted Police ride over protesters.

– I have seen the pictures and when it happens it looks incredibly trouble. Is it now a lot of Bengalis, firecrackers and big crowds, we must act decisively and then it can have this result, but it should also be investigated.

TT: Is it correct behavior?

– I can not speak about.

according to Skanska Dagbladet photographer, a police van hit a protester and Eva-Gun Westford confirms that it is a police vehicle that hit protester.

– There is a police vehicle which caused the damage. How it happened we do not know but I have been extremely difficult to believe that any colleague deliberately would run on a person. This will be investigated, she said.

The man must have been helped by medical staff.

– He hobbled away with the help of two friends.

Police have arrested at least one person and made a number of detentions, including for violation of masking the law.

Anna, from a group of lawyers who call themselves Street lawyers, says she has lost count of how many of the infringements committed police made in connection with SVP squares meeting.

– The response from the police have been very bad. Nor do we know how many have been arrested and cared for.

In an alley next to the square caring paramedics several injured. A young man is brought to the ambulance on a stretcher.

– At least three, four seriously injured, said another young man.

Many testify that police officers rode into the crowd and hit after them with batons.

Stefan Jacobsson from Swedes party continued his speech despite the fight.

– They need to say what they think. But I am moved by the commitment the young people shows, those who demonstrate against this, saying Limhamnsbon Jesper Peters, who stands in the middle of the crowd.

Some policemen are now leaving the site but many police and protesters are still in Limhamnsvägen . Just over a hundred policemen, including police dialogue from Denmark, has been monitoring the demonstration.

Tomorrow SVP traveling north for meetings in Halmstad and Gothenburg and then Vanersborg. But today’s events do not affect the commanding police in Västra Götaland.

– No, we have a commanding running and it does not affect what I know. We are pretty välbemannade tomorrow, says Joakim Hansson, deputy county duty officer at the police in West Bengal.
