DISINFO: In Sweden raping women is becoming a right for men of colour
SUMMARY
In Sweden, Swedish women have no protection from sexual assault by men of colour. Raping Swedish women is becoming a right for men of coulour. Swedish women are afraid to report rapes because they might be accused of hate crimes by the police just because they denounced sexual assault by a man of colour.
The Swedes are such sheep that they reelect governments that favor immigrant invaders over ethnic Swedes.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on the “invasion of Europe” by migrants and on Europe’s migration crisis presented without supporting evidence.
It is not true, as the article claims, that Swedish women are not protected from sexual assault by migrants. In 2018, Sweden passed a new law changing the legal definition of rape to non-consensual sex, implying that it is no longer owed to the prosecutor to prove that there was a threat, coercion or violence. This has led to greater protection for victims of sexual violence and consequently an increase in rape complaints. Furthermore, the Swedish police do not collect information on the ethnicity, religion, or race of perpetrators or victims of crime.
The topic of migrant-related crime and sexual violence in Sweden and Europe has been exploited repeatedly by the extreme right-wing with specific narratives, such as the myth of the “rapefugees” that arose immediately after the events in Cologne, Germany, and by political figures who led anti-immigration agendas all over the world, from Nigel Farage to former US President Donald Trump.
In Sweden, which has been the target of a strong disinformation campaign following the spike in refugee arrivals mainly from Syria, experts tasked by the Swedish government have analysed the available data on sexual violence and concluded that there is no empirical evidence linking immigration to the so-called rape epidemic phenomenon.
This case of disinformation appeared in the same source as 127824: In the West men are feminised and are no longer able to defend women from the sexual assaults of migrants.
Read similar cases claiming that due to migration, the number of rapes in Sweden has increased by 1000% in two years, that migrants are responsible for increase in robberies, murders and rapes in Germany or that Sweden's feminist government orders not to investigate rapes to protect the immigrants that committed them
