Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson slammed a Muslim-led disinformation campaign that has claimed Swedish social services are kidnapping children from Muslim parents.
In at least one TikTok video on the subject, Islamic jihad and martyrdom were mentioned, with the video maker stating: “We talk from sharia. You have to secure, whether you want to or not, you have to secure your wife and your daughter somewhere. Then return here. Look, either you take your children back or die as a martyr.”
“It’s a threat to democracy,” Ing-Marie Larsson, head of the Nordost social administration in Gothenburg, said in November. “I’d say it’s really serious.” Prime Minister Kristersson said that his government would look to increase penalties for threats and violence against public officials “Sweden and social services do not kidnap children, neither Muslim nor other children. On the contrary, I am afraid that there are children who receive less support and help than they need,” he insisted.
The Swedish government has also proposed additional resources for the National Board of Health and Welfare to combat the disinformation campaign, as well better protecting the personal information of public sector employees.
