Joel Bjurströmer Almgren, compagno antifa svedese sotto processo per aver autodifeso una manifestazione antirazzista dall’aggressione di una banda nazista nel dicembre scorso, è stato condannato martedì a 6 anni e mezzo di carcere da una corte distrettuale. L’assurdità della condanna è proporzionale allo scandaloso e consueto doppio binario utilizzato dalle autorità nei confronti degli aggressori e dal comportamento della polizia, il cui non intervento altrove ha fatto la sua parte nel martirio di Pavlos Fyssas. Nel rinnovare a Joel la nostra solidarietà pubblichiamo qui la lettera che ha redatto alla vigilia del verdetto ed invitiamo a scrivergli in inglese all’indirizzo: Joel Almgren, Box 1274, 141 25 Huddinge, Sweden.

Close upon the trial startup end of January, yet another person was detained for involvement in some of the suspected attacks but this person was also released, still being a suspect.
