Among pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Boras, there is a consensus that last weekend's clash was a hate crime. That's what Kotborgs-Boston writes. Sophia Johansen, an activist with the Palestinian Vision Society, says many people are worried this week.
– Since walking into the car crowd last weekend, there have been many emotions. Concerns about Islamophobia and racism have increased in Great Britain and recently here in Sweden, he says in the newspaper.
Khaled Ahmad was protesting with his seven-year-old daughter when the driver drove over adults and children, reports SVT Nyheter Väst. Today he returned by train.
– Proving is always important.
The 68-year-old motorist, according to multiple media outlets, has shared strong hatred against Palestinians on social media. Currently, criminal classifications include negligence in traffic and causing bodily harm. Porus Ditting said this week that other classifications, such as hate crime motives, may be appropriate.
The man has denied intentionally driving the protest train. He has complained of assault and vandalism on the protestors.
