Sweden: Thousands protest violence and racial profiling from security guards and police
About 2,000 demonstrators gathered in Stockholm on Saturday, to protest against alleged violence targeting ethnic minorities in Sweden by police and security guards.
Protesters denounce “both language and violence towards black and brown bodies,” said Fanna Ndow Norrby, one of the event’s organizers.
"We are calling for the police to understand the fact that they have a serious issue and a serious problem with racism, and also these different private security companies who provide security guards to understand that what they are doing is racially profiling black and brown Swedish people and also using too much violence," she said.
The protest was sparked by a video posted to social media showing police physically removing a pregnant black woman from a train when she couldn’t produce her train ticket.
