Censorship Swedish Style

Hat tip Edward and Nyheter Idag (News Today)



"Shhh"

We have been reporting on the shameful under-reporting in Sweden of the horrific beheadings of two Scandinavian girls in Morocco last month. Not only has the mainstea media refused to tell the public that the girls were beheaded, they are even threatening those who show the horrific video (which was filmed by the perpetrators) on the internet, can be prosecuted and imprisoned. Several individuals have chosen to post the video in order to inform the public of what actually happened.

The below article is from Nyheter Idag (News Today) and concerns this shameful story. I have translated it from Swedish.

"Knife wounds to the neck"- SVT continues to minimize the beheadings

The most problematic about the beheadings in connection with the murders in Morocco is not the act itself, but that people spread the video on social media of what actually happened. That is how  state SVT (Swedish state TV) Rapport can be summarized when they put the focus that it can be criminal to spread the beheading video, the incident that the public service (outlet) calls "knife wounds".

Since the state SVT in TV text, the web, and in news broadcasts consistently refers to "knife wounds" when they report on the murders in Morocco, many private persons have chosen to put out the bloody video that shows that the same work was beheadings. Now public service channels are putting a stop to videos that show what really happened, via  a feature in SVT Rapport.

- "A video that is said to show the murders has been spread on social media. But those who spread the film in Sweden can be guilty of a crime". That is what ex-prosecutor Sven-Erik Alhem, told a TV anchor in SVT Rapport. 

On the TV screen even (writing) with the text, "dissemination is illegal" appear. Further, Rapport shows a feature from Morocco where reporter Diamant Salihu repeats the (minimization) of what actually happened.

- "The girls had knife wounds on their necks," he says in the feature. 

Those who want to show that SVT is wrong with the claim of "knife wounds to the neck" and thereby spread videos that show what really happened can risk several years in jail.

-" If the crime is aggravated, it is up to 4 years in jail and a minimum of 6 months," says Sven-Erik Alhem in the feature.

In social media, several users (say) that the video is spread just because the Swedish media, in particular, public service consistently refuses to state that both women had their heads cut from their bodies. Nyheter Idag (News Today) reached out to SVT Tuesday, but without results.
