ACTIVISM IN SWEDEN: Lex Elin Ersson

Elin Ersson, a young Swedish activist earlier this week managed to suspend a Turkish Aircraft from departing Gothenburg airport by refusing to sit down. The reason for this was to prevent a 52-year old man from Afghanistan who was also on the plane, from being deported. I’ll use this incident as a starting point for a discussion on the law, subjective opinion and civil disobedience in Sweden.
