The head of a Sweden Democrat party district and member of the party’s election committee used the party's website to call for the castration of four young boys suspected of sexual crimes.

- Six teens on trial for Stockholm gang rape (10 May 13)
- Sweden Democrats fall in new voter poll (28 Apr 13)
“A 14-year-old girl was this weekend subjected to sexual abuse by four boys at a playground in Rosengård. The boys, who are all under 15, have been questioned by police and have admitted the offence," the post read.
"The punishment must be surgical castration and deportation."
On Monday, Karlsson, who is the district head of the Sweden Democrats in Jämtland and Härjedalen counties, confirmed to Swedish newspaper Expo that he had penned and published the demand.
“I wrote it and I stand by it,” Karlsson told Swedish paper Expo on Monday.
The incident to which the post alluded took place at a Malmö playground during last weekend.
One of the boys involved was 12-years-old. According to Expo there has been no information anywhere which contains the nationality of the young suspects.
Surgical castration entails the removing of the testicles. However, Karlsson was unwilling to comment any further on his suggestion to the newspaper, saying that he’d “gain nothing from speaking to reporters”.
However, Sweden Democrat spokesperson Martin Kinnunen told Expo that surgical castration of under aged sex offenders is not an issue the party is currently pursuing.
“From the party’s view this is not a policy we are pursuing. Neither is the deportation of 12-year-olds but it is hard to say anything about what will hypothetically be possible," he said.
"We have spoken before about lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 12 years of age. When talking of deportation there are many factors to be considered, so it is hard to say."

----For swedes it should be CASTRATION only
----ALL OTHER immigrants it should be combined with DEPORTATION.
Finally, if Sweden gives asylum to Afghans like ppl who sewed their lips, raps or violent crimes'll are no surprise from such ppl.
1. If it happened in Rosengard Malmo, then it is very likely that the victim is also an immigrant girl.
2. Immigrant girls deserve safety and respect as much as native Swedish girls. The severity of the punishment should not depend on the ethnicity of the victim.
3. A senior falling off a bed in a hospital and passing away makes it to the frontpage on local.se website and yet a girl sexually harassed by 4 boys do not make it at all on this website.
4. Regarding the punishment. Yes, castration and deportation should be required. If they want to come and live in Sweden they should respect the Swedish culture and law.
The difference between science and pseudo-science is that science gathers all the facts and makes a conclusion based on those facts, meanwhile pseudo-science already have the conclusion and gathers the "facts" that supports their conclusion.
In Sweden we have pseudo-journalism. Journalists who report based on the conclusion rather than objective reality.
BALLS!! See, I dared speaking up! :P
I think that they would change their mind about this weird castration law if it their testicles were to be chopped of. Or their fathers, brothers or best friends. Then it would be somebody elses fault, the girl they raped or the feminists or something like that.
ANd you are basing your statements on what exactly? Do you have any statistics in regards to ethnic swedes who avoid punishment vs the poor little immigrants who do not?
Also, are you 100% sure that the 4 boys on Rosengård playground WERE NOT immigrants? Also would you think that the discussion of deportation above suggests that these were swedes? Mmm. Interesting.
Bottom line - the entire speech is a pile of nonsense, unless proven otherwise by facts.
Whatever exactly happened should be determined by a complete police investigation and the appropriate punishment determined by the courts. These where all children so it is doubtful that they don't even know what they did was wrong. However, they should not avoid rehabilitation or punishment because of their age.
I have no idea if the 4 boys were immigrants or not, but one could guess that they probably were since most of the people living in Rosengård are. I don't think the same cries about castration would have been there if the SD-politician didn't think that the boys were immigrants. If it had been a playground in a neighbourhood were most people are Swedish, and the boys would have been Swedish, their own sons, I don't think they would have said anything about castrating them. Then it would be more like "There was just some kids playing, you know, boys will be boys, kids that age is curious, the girl might have been tempting them etc".
So you are basing it on personal feelings and impressions, rather than a real debate on SVT, a research or some statistical data... Because PERSONALLY I do not recall when some people in media or in "insändare" or in this forum, called a group rape performed by a gang of swedes "curiosity game" or blamed the girl. If I am mistaken, please direct me towards a source. Thank you.
To be exact I do not recall of any gang rape performed by raging group of Svenssons and Axelssons in a public place... but let's leave that. After all, it is a "cultural perk" of our guests in Sweden and we should be tolerant towards it. And some here (like the one poser above this post) would be happy to actually start blaming the Swedish society that "did not accept these youngsters" and therefore they have no other choice but rape children who happen to be on the street.
The fact of the matter is that a girl in Sweden is 4 times more likely to be raped by an immigrant than by a swede. As Belgian journalist proved that it is IMPOSSIBLE to walk in the streets of Brussels as a woman without being constantly harassed by country guests (9 out of ten harassing comments were made with an accent).

What is also amazing is that women are in their majority leftist and are statistically more likely to support immigration from the 3rd world.
So I suggest that women do some statistical research SOMETIMES, because this behavior definitely does not make any sense.

Hey, there's idiot dirtbags in every group and culture, but the racism on these pages is often 'truly special'. And, that's all I have to say, punkt slut!
Is the objective of Swedish justice
(A) to punish perpetrators,
(B) to gratify authoritarian officials,
(C) to exact vengeance, or
(D) to protect innocent people?
