What was court’s ruling based on
While giving its ruling in the matter, the court was referring to a United Nations (UN) 1951 rule on the status of refugees. The rule meant that Mohamed and other refugees have their status protected except in extreme cases. The court granted permission to Mohamed and ruled there was no current threat to public order, and the rape suspect will stay in Sweden after his sentence, according to the report.
Europe has witnessed a constant flow of similar stories, including some migrants receiving minor punishments after sexually assaulting women and girls. According to a 2018 report from a Swedish public broadcaster found that 58% of all rapes or attempted rapes in Sweden were committed by foreigners.
