Swedish Court Convicts Pensioner for Saying Somalis Are ‘Lazy’
22 Feb 2019964
A Swedish court has convicted a 70-year-old man of “hate speech†for claiming on social media that Somalis are lazy and don’t work.
In a unanimous decision, the district court of Uddevalla handed down a guilty verdict, ordering the man to pay 60 daily fines of SEK 120, for a total of SEK 7200 (700 euros).
The court said that the man’s Facebook post, which linked to an article by Swedish public broadcaster SVT, was “derogatory†to the reputation of Somalis as a group. In his post, the man contested the article’s claim that some 20 percent of Somalis are out of work in Sweden, adding that Somalis avoid work because “they are the laziest people in this world.â€
