"Sweden is a veritable smorgåsbord for UK business. I see our work as a bit like a kind of dragon’s den for both for larger and smaller British companies. It is about matching the UK companies, not with cash, but with Swedish market opportunities." READ »

So if it's the right suspect, they might not convict him on just this.
Really Sweden, can you be more mature.. or MEN is always a suspect!
Can you believe this.. what a funny Law it is.. I mean a women just accused some one of a rap via facebook and the police went on to arrest the (so called suspect!)..
Really Sweden, can you be more mature.. or MEN is always a suspect! "
Umm, i'm pretty sure she would know that her raper was a "MEN".
A woman was raped, and you're concerned about how she identified her raper?
And your giving a lecture on maturity?
Priceless.
I mean right for MEN?
NO, this is Sweden where apparently only "your government" can determine whether you have been raped or not.
About the rape now. Those who do it are psycho not just some ordinary criminals. They should be sent to special Sanitariums for such people with no access to the outside for some period. Simple sending them in prison does not work. If they don't show improvement after participating in special programs and evaluations by doctors and physiologists they should be chemically castrated or in more severe cases sterilized. After getting treated they should be let go home but the Police should constantly monitor them. Here I think a lot of voices will rise up about the cruelty and human rights. Well I don't know which is more important- to absolutely save the human rights of one psychopath or protecting the life and the human rights of dozen woman and their families. The system now is trying to make the Wolfs friends with the Lambs but it is against the common sense and the nature of things as well. And if what I suggest is done properly and from the right specialists would even help those people and keep them from the streets and from doing even worst crimes. What do you believe about it?
