Refugee Gangs Sexually Assault Teenage Girls At Swedish Festival Two Years In A Row

From: dailycaller.com



Sexual assaults by gangs of refugees similar to the events in Cologne, Germany on New Years Eve happened two years in a row at a music festival in Stockholm, Sweden. Police allegedly kept the events quiet in attempts to avoid public debate on immigration.


The assaults took place at the We are Sthlm music festival in August of 2014 and 2015, according to an investigation published Sunday by daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. Most of the attendees were teenage girls, but some were as young as 11 years old, according to police.


The investigation contains email exchanges between police officers during and after the festival. The perpetrators were recently-arrived Afghani refugees, but there are no figures of how many people they assaulted since most incidents went unreported. The gangs also brutally assaulted teenage boys who tried to intervene, according to the investigation.


The youngest girls were just 11 or 12 years old, an anonymous police officer told DN. I would have never let my own daughter go to the festival if I was aware of what happened.


At least one case was severe enough to be classified as rape against a young girl during the 2014 festival. But the rape was kept quiet since the perpetrators were young immigrants and police wanted to avoid debate on immigration. Police were particularly scared that the Sweden Democrats an anti-immigration party thats been growing steadily in recent years would capitalize on the assaults.


Its a sore spot. Were sometimes scared to tell the truth because we think it will benefit the Sweden Democrats, Police Chief Peter gren told DN. This one is on us.


Roger Ticoalu, the organizer of the event, said the claims from girls were so unheard of that they didnt think they were real.


These cases are very special. Its groups of guys that deliberately target girls to circle and sexually abuse, Ticoalu told DN. We were shocked to hear their strategies. When we got the first reports we didnt believe it had happened.


One of the victims, named Fanny, described her 2015 assault


 to tabloid Aftonbladet in an interview Sunday. She was just 16-years-old at the time of the attack.


They were touching our butts and breasts and everywhere, said Fanny, who attended the festival with her friends. You felt so powerless, it was really unpleasant. When we tried to get out they stopped us and even hit us.


The police made a handful of arrests each year, but the vast majority of the cases went unsolved since the perpetrators easily disappeared in the crowds, according to reports.

Sweden: Sexual assault of teenage girls by ‘migrants’ at Stockholm music festival come to light

From: ibtimes.co.in


National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson holds a news conference after Swedish police ordered an investigation into allegations that officers covered up sexual assaults by mostly immigrant youths at a music festival in Stockholm, in Salen, Sweden, January 11, 2016.Reuters


The Swedish Police reportedly covered up nearly 40 cases of rape and sexual assault of teenage girls at the annual music festival in Stockholm, which reportedly involved migrant youths. 


The revelation, and supsequent public anger at the Swedish Police, comes even as cops in Germany are dealing with hundreds of cases of sexual assault on women on New Year’s Eve, and the suspects include asylum-seekers. 


At least 38 cases of rape and sexual assault had been filed by teenage girls who said they had been groped and molested at the We Are Sthlm festival in 2014 and 2015, according to a report in The Local


The revelation was made by the Dagens Nyheter newspaper that accessed a police memo which had mentioned the role of refugee youths in the sex attacks. 


“These are so-called refugee youths, specifically from Afghanistan. Several of the gang were arrested for sexual molestation,” a police memo reportedly said. The newspaper said 50 Afghan refugees were involved in the incident. 


Stockholm authorities also highlighted a modus operandi the attackers used at the music event. “It was a modus operandi we had never seen before: Large groups of young men who surround girls and molest them. In the cases where we were able to apprehend suspects, they were with a foreign background, newly arrived refugees aged 17-20, who had come to Sweden without their families,” Roger Ticoalu, events head at the Stockholm city administration, told The Guardian


The Swedish Police have launched an internal investigation following the reports, while Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has called it a “double betrayal” of the women who were victims of the attacks. 


A police spokesperson denied that there had been a cover-up, and instead used the term “self-censorship”. “There are police employees that are afraid of talking about these things in the context of the immigration debate today,” Varg Gyllander, a spokesperson for the Stockholm police was quoted as saying by The Guardian. 


The report is likely to raise tensions in European nations, which saw a massive influx of migrants in 2015 in the biggest refugee crisis since World War II.  Sweden was the first country that offered permanent residence to refugees from Syria.


Women who were molested in the German city of Cologne on 31 December reportedly told the police the attackers had “Middle Eastern and north African” appearance.
