Attack against councillor in Sweden

    Mattias Bernadsson, one of our members and elected councillor in Haninge (a suburb of Stockholm) has been attacked by three people, two of them armed with knuckle brass and a knife respectively, undoubtly by nazis but no group has claimed responsibility as of yet. Mattias suffered a light concussion and some smaller cuts to the face, as he managed to knock the knife out the hand of the person wielding the knife. The incident has been reported to the police, and it has been in both local and national media. We are planning to hold a protest meeting on thursday in Haninge, and over all this attack shows us that the physical threat from the extreme right is still very present. We have sucessfully managed to blockade the nazis on several occassions in Gothenburg, hopefully we will be able to drive them back in Stockholm aswell.
