It really is unbelievable how this can happen in a country that calls itself democratic.</p><p>Police arrived at his home in the morning. They came prepared for such a case as this. Four police officers with two police cars.</p><p>The police took him outside and searched him in view of his neighbours before putting him in the police car and taking him to the station.</p><p>Police took his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot before placing him in a cell. Police also seized his devices.</p><p>Now, what on earth could have warranted such a police response against a 15 year old boy you may ask?</p><p>He was arrested for posts on facebook that criticized and ridiculed a politician from the Conservative party.</p><p>That&#8217;s it. For this, four police officers came and <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10/05/reform-teenager-arrest-tory-wolverhampton-council-leader/">arrested</a> the boy at his house.</p><p>Police have not clarified exactly what supposed crime the boy is suspected of and neither has he been charged with any crime and remains on bail.</p><div class="digest-post-embed"

again.</p><p>A 37 year old man from Syria has been convicted by the Swedish court for repeated rapes against a child.</p><p>However, he will NOT be deported from Sweden and the reasoning given by the court is absolutely shocking.</p><p>The victim is a girl who was around 10 years old when the attacks began and it continued until she was 13 years old. She was the stepdaughter of the convicted man. The victim, her mother and the convicted man lived in the same house.</p><p>When she first told her mother about what was going on, she did not believe her.</p><p>However, eventually a police report was made and the man was taken to court, needing an Arabic interpreter during the trial despite getting permanent residence permit in Sweden all the way back in 2014.</p><h3>But you won&#8217;t believe the court ruling.</h3><p>The migration authorities said there was nothing hindering his deportation.</p><p>However, the court ruled AGAINST deportation.</p><p>Why is that you may ask?</p><p>Because the court deemed that the man had strong ties to Sweden.</p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p>&#8221;The district court therefore finds that his tied to the country is fairly strong, which is why a deportation would affect him and his children quite severely. The district court therefore rejects the request for deportation&#8221; the court said in the ruling.</p></div><p>Instead, they only sentenced the man to 5 years in prison and he has to pay around $54,500 in compensation to the girl.</p><p>He will be allowed to stay in Sweden.</p><p>So let me understand this correctly.</p><p>The man raped a girl that saw him as her father. Now the court rules that he must not be deported from Sweden because a deportation would &#8221;affect...his children quite severely&#8221;?</p><p>I don&#8217;t understand what on earth is going on here with these Swedish court rulings. Absolutely unbelievable.</p><p>And this is not the first shocking court case from Sweden. There is now an ongoing pattern of court rulings that are unbelievable.</p><p>I previously reported on how a man in his 40s was set free by the court after raping a 14 year old girl, with the court saying in their verdict that the girl could &#8221;simply leave&#8221; during the attack.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;2143b545-ccd5-4545-a98a-eeae5326d206&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;What I&#8217;m about to tell you has barely been covered in the international news.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The SHOCKING court verdict from Sweden.&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:55952640,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Peter Imanuelsen&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Also known as PeterSweden | Swedish journalist | Political commentator | Supporter of freedom, kindness and liberty |&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/36bd62df-ee32-4321-8b5b-a3dcb90637c4_1737x1737.jpeg&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:100}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-19T22:19:00.158Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1630772006786-ea65e7c97a1f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wzMDAzMzh8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxM3x8c3RvY2tob2xtfGVufDB8fHx8MTc4NDQ5OTQwMnww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/p/the-shocking-court-verdict-from-sweden&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:207707782,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:317,&quot;comment_count&quot;:83,&quot;publication_id&quot;:547128,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;The Freedom Corner with PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!a-_t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00501213-e4cf-4e68-9920-624db07e3b01_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>Sweden has a rape crisis.</p><p>Things are so bad now that 17.9% of 15 year old girls report having been the victim of a sexual crime in Sweden.</p><p>You can read my article on the truth about the Swedish rape crisis here.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;57b0d3c9-6518-4d4e-9809-e492c494e628&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;So the crime figures for 2025 in Sweden is now in.

The reasoning is that if many students lack sufficient Italian skills in a classroom, it makes it more difficult with integration and learning the Italian language. If a majority of the classroom consist of students that speak Italian well, that will become the dominating language and new students will more easily learn Italian.</p><p>In addition to all this, if authorities deem that parents lack Italian skills and this hinders a child&#8217;s integration, parents can be ordered to attend free Italian courses. Parents who refuse to learn Italian could risk being fined up to &#8364;1000.</p><p>This comes as the neighbouring country of Austria has BANNED the hijab, burqa and niqab in schools for girls aged under 14 years old. Austria is presenting this as a measure to protect children.</p><p>If the ban is ignored, parent will risk a fine of up to &#8364;800 or a prison sentence if the fine is not paid.</p><p>It seems like

prevented the right from winning the election.</p><p>And I will prove it with statistics.</p><p>And in one area with a very high population of people with a foreign background, the left got a whopping 97,6% of the votes. You read that correctly.</p><h3>Here is my political analysis of the Swedish election.</h3><p>First of all, we do not have the final result yet. Because of a delay by the postal service in delivering early voting, authorities could not count all the votes on election night.</p><p>But that doesn&#8217;t really matter. Because the election is EXTREMELY close. With around 95% of the votes counted right now, the left is at 49,6% and the right is at 49% with only around 30.000 vote difference between them. Keep this in mind.</p><p>Going forward, when I mention the left wing bloc, these are the parties that make up the left, just so you understand that the left bloc consists of far left parties.</p><ul><li><p>The Social Democrats (Socialists).</p></li><li><p>The Left (until 1990 they were called the Left Party the Communists)</p></li><li><p>The Greens.</p></li><li><p>The Center party.</p></li></ul><h3>So what happened?</h3><p>According to the exit poll made by Valu on Swedish state TV, 70% of voters with a non European background voted for the left. This is significant. Let me explain why.</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/PeterSweden7/status/2099216460606234944&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;70% of people with a non European background voted for the left wing bloc in the Swedish election today according to exit poll by Valu.\n\nNow you know why the left supports open borders.&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden7&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/2070994493612933120/RleBe7xT_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-09-13T19:19:40.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:513,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:7657,&quot;like_count&quot;:40164,&quot;impression_count&quot;:410124,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>The Swedish online newspaper <a href="https://bulletin.nu/en-miljon-rostberattigade-har-utomeuropeisk-bakgrund">Bulletin</a> did some research and they estimate that around 13% of those eligible to vote in the 2026 election had a non European background. Allthough they did not use the exact same definition of non European background as the Valu exit poll, they are similar enough to give us a reasonable comparison.</p><p>Meaning that around 1.05 million people with a non European background could vote.</p><h3>What does this mean, how many votes will this group of voters have given the left?</h3><p>Firstly, we need to look at voter turnout. In the last election, in certain areas where almost all of the population have a non European foreign background, there was around 55% voter turnout. Among all foreign born voters (including with European background) the turnout was 67%.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.petersweden.org/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>This election, the left had a large campaign to mobilize voters from this group. The Social Democrats for example ran election campaign in Arabic to reach voters in this group so it is safe to assume that voter turnout would probably be higher than before.</p><p>Let us use very, very conservative numbers here and estimate that the voter turnout was around 55% for the group of voters with a non European background.</p><p>Combine this with the exit poll showing that 70% voted for the left.</p><p>This would mean that the left got around 400.000 votes from voters with a non European background.</p><p>Again, these 400.000 votes would be a very conservative number. It could well be more.</p><p>So if this estimate is correct, it would mean around 400.000 votes out of the around 3.2 million votes that the left got right now in this election comes from this group of voters.</p><p>Now consider that the left is currently leading by only around 30.000 votes, the picture becomes clear.</p><p>These votes for the left stopped the right from winning a clear victory in the election.</p><h3>But here is the thing that makes it even more interesting.</h3><p>The right wing bloc won the previous election in 2022. But since then Sweden has granted citizenship to around 200.000 people, with people from Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Somalia being among the largest groups that got granted citizenship.</p><p>In other words, people with a non European background accounted for the large majority of those 200.000 that got granted citizenship within the last 4 years by the right wing government. They now have full voting rights.</p><p>If you do the math here, statistically it is highly likely that because the right wing government granted these citizenships, they lost the election, considering the very close margins.</p><p>If the right wing government had paused granting these citizenships, they would very likely have won the election.</p><p>Now let us take a look at a few areas in Sweden and how they voted.</p><p>What about Central Rinkeby, which is a suburb of Stockholm. The left here got 93,9% of the votes in this election district. Around 93% of the population here have a foreign background.</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/PeterSweden7/status/2099457141136388516&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Swedish election results. \n\nIn central Rinkeby, the left got 93.9% of the votes.

Again, around 94% of the population in this election district have a foreign background.</p><p>Just for a little comparison, 35.7% of the entire population of Sweden now has a foreign background.

happened in a forest area near a train station. All four men took part in the gang rape.</p><p>Then they took the woman back to the train station where two of the men gang raped her again while another stood guard.</p><p>These were horrible attacks.</p><p>But the sentence the men got will probably shock you.</p><p>Three of the men were convicted of aggravated rape and were sentenced to only 5 years and 6 months in prison. The fourth man was convicted of rape and was sentenced to 2 years and 3 months prison.</p><p>All the men were convicted on the 30th December of 2022. But all the men are FREE today as they were eligible for early conditional release.</p><p>Let that sink in.</p><p>Here are four men that gang raped a woman and they are already back on the streets of Sweden after just a few years.</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/PeterSweden7/status/2089078494139486691&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Absolutely shocking from Sweden. \n\nIn late 2022, four Eritrean men were convicted after gang r*ping a woman near a train station.\n\nThey were NOT deported as the court ruled they risked \&quot;persecution\&quot; in their homeland. \n\nSweden has already RELEASED them from jail and set them&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden7&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/2070994493612933120/RleBe7xT_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-16T19:55:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:53,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:902,&quot;like_count&quot;:4122,&quot;impression_count&quot;:57031,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>But that is not all.</p><p>All four men have citizenship from Eritrea.

persecuted Christians.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world.</p><p>Yet you almost never hear anything about this on the news.</p><p>The world needs to know the truth and I will tell you about it.</p><p>The organization Open Doors released their World Watch List 2026, where they track severity of the persecution that Christians are facing around the world.</p><p>In case you didn&#8217;t know, this organization was founded by a man who was famous for smuggling Bibles into the Soviet Union. Already back then, the far left did not like Christianity.</p><p>So, what are the figures in the latest World Watch <a href="https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/">List</a>? It is bad.</p><p>First of all, it is important to remember that the figures you are about to read are conservative numbers, the real numbers are likely to be much, much higher because of under reporting.</p><p>Over 388 million Christians now face high levels of persecution for their faith. This is up from 380 million in the year before.</p><p>This means that around 1 in 7 Christians worldwide face high levels of persecution for the faith.</p><p>81 countries are listed where Christians face high, very high or extreme levels of persecution.</p><h3>Do you realize what this means?</h3><p>This means that we are not far off from the point where almost HALF of ALL the countries on earth are places where Christians face high levels of persecution.</p><p>At some point, you have to ask yourself this question. Why isn&#8217;t this being reported all over the news?!</p><p>Furthermore, 25,794 houses, shops, businesses or other properties belonging to Christians were attacked. That is a lot.</p><p>In addition to this, another 3,632 churches and other public Christian properties were attacked in just a 1 year period.</p><p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop there. There are also a lot of Christian people who would qualify for being refugees.</p><p>A whopping 224,129 Christians were forced to leave their homes, go into hiding in their country or leave their country entirely because of persecution for being a Christian.</p><p>In Nigeria for example, large numbers of Christians have had to flee their homes because of attacks by islamists.</p><p>There is also something that is called community expulsion of converts, where Christian converts get expelled and forced out of their villages or homes by family members or village elders because of their faith.</p><p>This is reportedly common in Laos where Christians are often given ultimatums of recanting their faith or being forced to leave. Often their homes are also destroyed.</p><p>Just now in June, Open Doors <a href="https://www.opendoorsuk.org/news/latest-news/seven-families-expelled-for-their-faith-in-jesus/">reported </a>on how Christian families were expelled in Laos because they converted to Christianity.</p><p>In one village, six families were exiled. They were given an ultimatum to recant. They refused and they all chose to remain faithful to Jesus. As a result, their homes were destroyed and they were forced out of the village.</p><p>So, over 200,000 Christians were forced to leave their homes, go into hiding or leave their country because of persecution for their faith.</p><p>These people are actual refugees. Yet we never hear anything about them in the news. That seems very weird to me. Why is the media ignoring them?</p><p>Again, it is important to remember that these figures are conservative. The real numbers are likely much higher because of under reporting.</p><p>It is clear that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. Daily, Christians are having to endure hardship and persecution because they choose to follow Jesus.</p><p>Yet we never hear about it.</p><p>Even though it is increasingly happening in the West also. Just look at the UK. They have already begun arresting people for preaching.</p><p>An elderly pastor was convicted in court for preaching in the UK. All he did was holding an open air Sunday service that was considered to be in the &#8221;wrong&#8221; place.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;040ac564-1c35-4a92-8b50-8b872f30373b&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;What you are about to read is something that should never happen in a free country.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;UNREAL: Pastor CONVICTED for preaching in UK&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:55952640,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Peter Imanuelsen&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Also known as PeterSweden | Swedish journalist | Political commentator | Supporter of freedom, kindness and liberty |&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/36bd62df-ee32-4321-8b5b-a3dcb90637c4_1737x1737.jpeg&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:100}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-26T17:30:13.428Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hqWh!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2353d717-4c35-422d-94dc-c15a28b87882_1510x1122.png&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/p/unreal-pastor-convicted-for-preaching&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:199355555,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:183,&quot;comment_count&quot;:26,&quot;publication_id&quot;:547128,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;The Freedom Corner with PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!a-_t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00501213-e4cf-4e68-9920-624db07e3b01_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>You may also not have heard about how Christians were severely persecuted in the Soviet Union.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;8aa848e9-404b-4709-af13-d1903ddaafd3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;We have all heard about the horrors of Nazi Germany, and rightfully so.

They believe that the state is their god and should be in complete control over humanity.</p><p>Now, I want to tell you about a story that has barely been reported.</p><p>This took place in the Soviet Union. Soldiers from the Red Army arrived at a church, chased out the congregation and forced them into a barn. The far-left soldiers then closed the doors and piled up flammable items against the barn door and lit it all on fire.</p><p>As the flames began burning up the building, there was the sound of the Christians inside that began singing the old hymn &#8221;Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee&#8221;.</p><p>This is a real story that was reported in a Christian magazine from Sweden in 1932.</p><p>And I am sure that you never learned about this in school.</p><p>It is time to educate the world on the terrible persecution that Christians have suffered, not only now, but also the last 2000 years.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe

In 2021, there was 114.300 babies born. In 2025 that number had dropped to only 97.491.</p><p>That means that in just a few years, the birthrates have dropped by almost 15%.</p><p>This is not normal.</p><p>Now it has been revealed that Fauci himself had privately warned about potential risk of miscarriage linked to the covid vaccines.</p><p>All the way back in 2021, Fauci was discussing covid vaccination and pregnancy with the then CDC director and a Biden covid advisor.</p><p>Fauci mentioned that people got significant cytokine storms after the 2nd dose, something that in theory could be associated with miscarriage in pregnant women.</p><p>So, in private, Fauci warned about potential miscarriage risks.</p><p>However, Fauci did not tell the public about these concerns.</p><p>We also know now that menstrual bleedings are a side effect of the covid vaccines. The European medicine agency officially listed it as such.</p><p>One <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9294036/">study </a>that looked at 78.138 vaccinated women, found that 39.759 of them suffered from menstrual problems after getting the covid vaccine. So over 50% of women in this particular study.</p><p>It is only natural to suspect that if women have menstrual disorders, that this could affect fertility.</p><p>Do you remember how we were told that the mRNA vaccines would stay at the injection site? That was a lie.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937824000632">study </a>found that the mRNA itself had spread to the placenta and umbilical cord.</p><blockquote><p>&#8221;Our findings suggest that the vaccine mRNA is not localized to the injection site and can spread systematically to the placenta and umbilical cord blood. The detection of the spike protein in the placental tissue indicates the bioactivity of the vaccine mRNA that reach the placenta&#8221;.</p></blockquote><p>Of course, nobody in the media told you about this. But I wrote and warned about this years ago.</p><p>The establishment in unison promoted the covid mRNA vaccines to the point that anyone who dared raise questions were branded a &#8221;conspiracy theorist&#8221;.</p><p>They told us to &#8221;trust the science&#8221; and &#8221;trust the experts&#8221;.</p><p>But this was actually ANTI science.</p><p>True science would have allowed people to ask questions and be skeptical.</p><p>The reason that I could write about this years ago, is because I&#8217;m not funded by people like Bill Gates.</p><p>Your continued support is very important and helps me to be able to bring you the news stories that is being censored by the media!</p><p class="button-wrapper"

Imanuelsen</figcaption></figure></div><p>Something is happening in Italy.</p><p>Italian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the captain of a NGO ship that claimed to be rescuing people in the Mediterranean Sea.</p><p>The ship brought a large number of people from near the coast of Libya and dropped them off in Italy.</p><p>But now Italy is suspecting that they could have been coordinating together with people smugglers in order to bring people illegally into Europe.</p><p>And they have aerial surveillance video from Frontex as evidence.</p><p>The NGO vessel departed on the 6th of May this year for what they call a search and rescue mission.</p><p>On the 11th of May, the NGO vessel finds a boat carrying around 90 people, with most of them reportedly being from Bangladesh.</p><p>Wait a minute. Why are people from Bangladesh in a boat on the Mediterranean Sea near Libya to begin with?</p><p>So the NGO transfers the people onto their ship. However, here is where things become weird.</p><p>There were also five masked men aboard the boat. After the other people had been transferred onto the NGO ship, the five masked men restart the engine of their boat, reportedly give a thumbs up to the NGO crew and then they leave south back towards the African continent.</p><p>The NGO vessel found the boat around 100km north of Tripoli in Libya. But now they had to the port in Brindisi in southern Italy which is over 1000km away and took almost 4 days of sailing.</p><p>On the way to Italy, the NGO ship finds and takes onboard more people.</p><p>The ship docks in Italy with 166 people onboard, now mainly from Bangladesh, Egypt, Syria and Eritrea.</p><p>The NGO themselves claim that they were rescuing these people and that they were in distress.</p><p>But the sea was calm when the transfer of the people onto the ship took place.</p><p>Now the Italian authorities are investigating the captain of the NGO ship for &#8221;aiding and abetting unauthorized immigration&#8221;.</p><p>It is being suspected that this wasn&#8217;t a genuine distress rescue, but that the NGO worked together with smuggling networks to bring people illegally into the country.</p><p>If eventually found guilty, the captain is facing up to 20 years prison.</p><p>When people arrive in Europe after disembarking these NGO ships, they are usually often met by other NGOs that help them further, giving them resources and advice. One such charity is Oxfam that has at least previously been operating in Italy to help the newly arrived people with everything they need. Usually they will continue their journey further north, to countries like Sweden.</p><p>The mainstream media has constantly portrayed these NGO ships as just doing rescue operations in the Mediterranean to help people who are in distress out at sea.</p><p>But it would seem now that they have actually been working together with organized networks to bring people illegally into Europe.</p><p>This should be headline news everywhere.</p><p>But of course this goes against the agenda of the mainstream media, because they support open borders.</p><p>But in so doing, it would seem they are indirectly supporting smuggling networks who exploit and put people at risk out on the sea.</p><p>Most of the media won&#8217;t report on this.</p><p>But I will.</p><p>If you appreciate the work that I do as an independent journalist, please upgrade to a paid subscriber if you haven&#8217;t already.</p><p>The mainstream media gets millions from people like Bill Gates. I don&#8217;t.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe

committing sexual offense against a 13 year old girl.</p><p>It was true that the man was convicted. What the woman said was true. Yet this woman has now been convicted of &#8221;gross defamation&#8221; for speaking out. And the reasoning from the court will shock you.</p><p>This 19 year old woman was a friend of the 13 year old girl and had testified against the man in court. She had even helped the girl get away from the man.</p><p>However, she encountered the man again in 2025 during a leisure activity in which this man and others were involved in.</p><p>There was a private group chat with around 20 members linked to this leisure activity. So she decided to warn the others in the group chat about this man.</p><p>The man was also in the same group chat and he reported her for defamation.</p><p>And this is what she was convicted for. She warned about a convicted sex offender that had attacked a 13 year old girl.</p><p>It didn&#8217;t matter that it was true that the man was convicted. The court decided to convict the woman of &#8221;of gross defamation&#8221; anyway.</p><p>Now she must pay around $3100 in compensation to the convicted man.</p><p>So essentially what happened here was this. A man committed sexual crimes against a 13 year old girl, and now he is earning money because others have warned about him. This just should not be able to happen. It is a scandal.</p><p>Here is the reasoning from the court for convicting the woman.</p><blockquote><p>&#8221;It is noted that the message and its information were based on an event that took place approximately three years ago. The public interest in disclosing the information cannot therefore be considered to have been of significant weight, and the District Court assesses that it was not justifiable...to disclose the information. The fact that it was true is then of no relevance to the assessment.&#8221; the court <a href="https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/sverige/natalie-19-berattade-om-domd-sexbrottsling-doms-for-fortal-/">writes </a>in the verdict.</p></blockquote><p>So the court admits that what she said was true. But the court claims that there wasn&#8217;t any public interest for the woman to warn others about what he had done because the conviction took place 3 years ago. Therefore the court claims it was not &#8221;justifiable&#8221; for her to do warn others.</p><p>Absolutely unbelievable. How does the court even come up with something like this?</p><p>But there is more. The woman was 17 years old when she warned the others in the group chat, had she been 18 years old, she would have risked being sent up to 2 years in prison instead.</p><p>Imagine that. In Sweden, people can be sent to 2 years in prison for warning others about a man that was convicted of sexual crimes against a 13 year old child.</p><p>This news comes shortly after a man in his 40s was set free by the court after raping a 14 year old girl in a Stockholm park.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;9bf0f519-ef61-4ad0-93ca-e90349aba052&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;What I&#8217;m about to tell you has barely been covered in the international news.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The SHOCKING court verdict from Sweden.&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:55952640,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Peter Imanuelsen&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Also known as PeterSweden | Swedish journalist | Political commentator | Supporter of freedom, kindness and liberty |&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/36bd62df-ee32-4321-8b5b-a3dcb90637c4_1737x1737.jpeg&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:100}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-19T22:19:00.158Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1630772006786-ea65e7c97a1f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wzMDAzMzh8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxM3x8c3RvY2tob2xtfGVufDB8fHx8MTc4NDQ5OTQwMnww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/p/the-shocking-court-verdict-from-sweden&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:207707782,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:299,&quot;comment_count&quot;:76,&quot;publication_id&quot;:547128,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;The Freedom Corner with PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!a-_t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00501213-e4cf-4e68-9920-624db07e3b01_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>In that case, part of the reasoning from the court in setting the man free, was because the court claimed that the 14 year old girl could &#8221;simply leave&#8221;. So the court victim blamed the girl and claimed she could have stopped the attack herself.</p><p>Absolutely unbelievable.</p><p>So we have now had two court cases recently that is completely shocking. These kind of rulings just should not be able to happen.</p><p>Yet it has happened in Sweden.</p><p>A woman was convicted and sentenced for warning about a man that was convicted of sexual crimes against a 13 year old.</p><p>Meanwhile a man in his 40s who raped a 14 year old girl was set free by the court because the court claimed she could &#8221;simply leave&#8221; during the

now is beyond belief. I&#8217;m simply lost for words at this court ruling.</p><p>A man in his 40s was just set FREE by the court after raping a 14 year old girl in a park.</p><p>You read that correctly. It is shocking. And the reasoning in the verdict from the court is also shocking.</p><p>Let me give you all the details.</p><p>The man who is from Romania raped the 14 year old girl in a park in Stockholm. The girl is diagnosed with both autism and ADHD.</p><p>The girl said that the attack felt &#8221;like an eternity&#8221;.</p><p>After what happened to her, she immediately called the police crying for help. It is being reported that the girl now has difficulties sleeping after what happened to her.</p><p>The man was prosecuted in Stockholm District Court, with the prosecutor asking for 3 years prison ande deportation from Sweden for life.</p><p>But what did the court rule?</p><p>Not only did the court not deport the man, but he didn&#8217;t even get any prison. He was set free.</p><p>And here comes some shocking details from the court verdict.</p><blockquote><p>&#8221;The course of events appears, in the opinion of the district court, to be such that the plaintiff had several opportunities to simply leave and/or interrupt what was happening&#8221;.</p></blockquote><p>Read that again.</p><p>Part of the reasoning that the court set this man free was because they claimed the 14 year old girl could &#8221;simply leave&#8221; when she was being raped by the man in his 40s.</p><p>So the court essentially said that this young girl could have stopped the attack herself and therefore they set the an free.</p><p>Again, I&#8217;m lost for words. This is victim blaming.</p><p>One more important thing. The girl is a child. A child cannot consent. Yet the court set the man free. This just should not be possible. This kind of verdict should not be able to happen.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;553474e3-3833-4d2a-b4b5-85f521fc8506&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;A recent court ruling has shocked Sweden and the news of it has gone viral on the internet.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;INSANE: You won't believe this court ruling from Sweden.&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:55952640,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Peter Imanuelsen&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Also known as PeterSweden | Swedish journalist | Political commentator | Supporter of freedom, kindness and liberty |&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/36bd62df-ee32-4321-8b5b-a3dcb90637c4_1737x1737.jpeg&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:100}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2025-10-27T18:36:18.067Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1670172072107-64618d043572?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wzMDAzMzh8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyNXx8c3dlZGVuJTIwZmxhZ3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3NjE1OTAxMzF8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/p/insane-you-wont-believe-this-court&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:177297523,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:269,&quot;comment_count&quot;:18,&quot;publication_id&quot;:547128,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;The Freedom Corner with PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!a-_t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00501213-e4cf-4e68-9920-624db07e3b01_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>Now, I need to explain a little how the Swedish court works. In this case it was a lay judge verdict.</p><p>In Sweden there is a lay judge system. So in this case, there was 1 professional judge and 3 lay judges. Lay judges are people that are nominated by political parties. This is supposed to bring public representation into the court room.</p><p>But what happened here was that the 3 lay judges decided to set the man free. And guess what? One of the lay judges is affiliated with the centre-right Moderate party that is currently in government.</p><p>The professional judge however issued a dissenting opinion and wanted the man convicted and sentence to 3 years in prison and deportation from Sweden for life.</p><blockquote><p>&#8221;In my opinion, the plaintiff&#8217;s account is supported by the emergency call and the incident report...one can also hear that the plaintiff is crying&#8221; the professional judge wrote.</p></blockquote><p>So the professional judge wanted to convict the man, but the 3 politically appointed lay judges decided to set the man free.</p><p>The prosecutor is not happy with the verdict and is appealing to the Svea Court of Appeal.</p><p class="button-wrapper"

&#8221;far-right&#8221; for voicing such ideas.

It wasn&#8217;t enough with the plastic bottle caps.</p><p>Now a new law has come into effect on the 7th of July which requires all new cars in the EU to MONITOR the driver using cameras or similar sensors.</p><p>All cars must come installed with something called Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW for short).</p><p>So how exactly does this system work?</p><p>Well, all cars will come with a camera installed that constantly monitors the driver. Equivalent sensors are also allowed under this system, but it seems like cameras will be the standard.</p><p>These cameras will continuously be monitoring the eyes, face, head position and where the driver is looking.</p><p>It is designed to detect things like distraction or fatigue. This is being promoted as something that will be positive for safety.</p><p>And if the cameras deem that the driver looks away from the road for too long, for example if they spend too much time adjusting the temperature in the car.</p><p>This will then trigger warnings in the car, with lights on the dashboard and warning sounds. The cars must also give haptic feedback, such as vibrations in the steering wheel or in the seat itself.</p><p>Now, I know that many people will be concerned about having a camera inside the car that is constantly monitoring the driver.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;8d9f0b75-ad39-4a7b-bb43-44b459996b4b&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;From next month, it will be mandatory for all new cars introduced on the market to have a speed limiter, and all new cars sold from July 2024 must have it.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;All new EU cars to be fitted with speed limiters&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:55952640,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Peter Imanuelsen&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Also known as PeterSweden | Swedish journalist | Political commentator | Supporter of freedom, kindness and liberty |&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/36bd62df-ee32-4321-8b5b-a3dcb90637c4_1737x1737.jpeg&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:100}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2022-05-06T14:58:55.769Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ksfo!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbacbcb18-c83d-4c5c-a1cb-a75dd15f2f97_2962x2088.jpeg&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.petersweden.org/p/speed-limiters&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:53738608,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:51,&quot;comment_count&quot;:16,&quot;publication_id&quot;:547128,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;The Freedom Corner with PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!a-_t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F00501213-e4cf-4e68-9920-624db07e3b01_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>But the cameras are not allowed to record videos, use facial recognition or send any data outside the car.</p><p>That is what is being said.</p><p>Sure, but how do we know it will stay this way?</p><p>Maybe the next step will be that facial recognition is added to the cameras.

frankly shocking.</p><p>The court can even issue a &#8221;protection order&#8221; against a parent on a PREVENTATIVE BASIS if they think the parent is &#8221;likely&#8221; to do something that violates this new bill. Read my article to the end to get the details on what this means.</p><h3>Is this what is called pre crime?</h3><p>Under this new bill, there is a serious concern that parents could be imprisoned (and more) if they for example tell their child that they are either male or female and certain criteria are met, which I will show you what they are.</p><p>Parents are risking up to 5 years in prison plus an UNLIMITED FINE if they are found to not follow this new law.</p><p>Because this new bill is broad, you just know that woke activists will use the new laws to persecute parents that refuse to follow the woke agenda.</p><p>In other words, parents that have traditional views on gender, that there is only male and female, and apply this to how they parent their children, will most certainly face risks under this new bill.</p><p>So, the bill aims to stop what they call abusive conversion practices.</p><h3>What do they mean by this?</h3><blockquote><p>&#8221;conversion practice&#8221; means...any conduct carried out by a person towards an individual with the intention of</p><p>(a) causing the individual</p><p>(i) to have or not to have,</p><p>(ii) to believe that they have or do not have, a sexual orientation or a particular sexual orientation; or</p><p>(b) causing the individual</p><p>(i) to have or not to have,</p><p>(ii) to believe that they have or do not have, a transgender identity or a particular transgender identity.</p></blockquote><p>And in another section of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-conversion-practices-bill">bill </a>they define transgender as also meaning that &#8221;the individual identifies as neither male nor female or as not solely male or female&#8221;.</p><p>So the definition of transgender identity is broad and includes people who identify as non binary identities also. So, someone who identifies as &#8221;genderfluid&#8221;, &#8221;agender&#8221;, &#8221;genderless&#8221; or &#8221;bigender&#8221; would be covered by this new bill.</p><p>Keep that in mind as I go into more detail of what this bill says and how parents could be punished.</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/PeterSweden7/status/2070479376555352258&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;IT'S REAL BAD. \n\nThe British government just came with a new bill that could throw parents 5 years in jail if they try to stop their child from wanting to change gender.\n\nI had a look at what the new \&quot;Conversion Practices Bill\&quot; says.\n\nAnd it's WAY WORSE than you think. \n\nAny&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden7&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;PeterSweden&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/2070994493612933120/RleBe7xT_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-26T12:08:45.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:2165,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:6257,&quot;like_count&quot;:19425,&quot;impression_count&quot;:3592520,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>This new bill does not give exemptions to parents or family, meaning that anyone who is found in violation of this new law risk 5 years prison plus an unlimited fine. This includes parents, religious leaders and anyone else except medical professionals.</p><h3>What kind of &#8221;conduct&#8221; could cause a parent to be thrown in prison?</h3><p>Let me tell you what the bill says. Let me give you a scenario.</p><ul><li><p>First: If a parent has shows conduct with the intention of either changing or preventing a belief in a particular gender identity, that qualifies as &#8221;conversion practice&#8221; under the bill.</p></li><li><p>Second: If a parent tells a child that they are either male or female or opposes the idea of &#8221;genderfluid&#8221; for example and the parent use what the bill calls &#8221;coercive words or behaviour&#8221;, then it would qualify as &#8221;abusive conversion practice&#8221;.</p></li><li><p>Third: If the parent has done what the bill calls &#8221;abusive conversion practice&#8221; and it causes &#8221;serious alarm or distress to the individual which has a substantial adverse effect on their usual day to day activities&#8221; it now crosses over into a CRIMINAL OFFENCE.</p></li><li><p>Fourth: The parent can then be convicted in court and sentenced up to 5 years in prison plus an UNLIMITED FINE.</p></li></ul><h3>But it doesn&#8217;t stop there.</h3><p>If anyone is found &#8221;encouraging&#8221; a parent in ANOTHER country to tell their child that they are either male or female and it meets the criteria that I just listed above, they can also be thrown in prison for up to 5 years and unlimited fine.</p><p>For example, if someone posts it on social media, that could be enough to throw someone in prison.</p><h3>But it doesn&#8217;t even stop there!</h3><p>Authorities can also report or cause a &#8221;Conversion Practice Protection Order&#8221; (CPPO) to be made against the parents if the court believes that the parents are &#8221;likely to cause&#8221; &#8221;serious alarm or distress to the individual which has a substantial adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities&#8221;.</p><p>This can be done on a preventative risk basis without even what the bill calls a &#8221;criminal offence&#8221; having been commited.</p><h3>And what can this CPPO do?</h3><p>Here is where things get even more Orwellian. Not only can the order be issued against a parent on a PREVENTATIVE BASIS, but the things the order can do is also very broad.</p><blockquote><p>&#8221;A conversion practice protection order may contain</p><p>(a) such prohibitions, restrictions or requirements, and</p><p>(b) such other terms,</p><p>as the court considers appropriate for the purposes of the order.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>In other words, the court has a very broad discretion of what they can impose.</p><p>So for example, the court could order the parent to stop using certain words such as forcing the parent to stop telling their own child that they are either male or female.</p><p>The court could restrict or supervise contact. The court could also for example ban the parent from involving their child in religious activities that are deemed &#8221;abusive&#8221;.</p><p>The court could possibly also order the parent to attend counselling. The list is pretty big because the court has very broad discretion.</p><p>And what happens if the parent doesn&#8217;t follow the CPPO? They can be thrown in prison for 2 years.</p><p>This is it.</p><p>Parents would risk being persecuted and thrown in prison by woke activists and authorities just because they want to raise their own children in a traditional way and they don&#8217;t agree with gender ideology.</p><p>It is clear that they think the children belong to the state rather than the parents.</p><p>And all this comes just shortly after Britain has RESTARTED trials where they will begin giving puberty blockers to children as young as 11.</p><p>I will say it loud and clear.</p><p>This goes against all human rights.</p><p>This is Orwellian.</p><p><mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Have you heard anything about this unbelievable story on the
