Forty-seven people were arrested and detained in connection with an anti-Israel rally in Norrmalmstorg in central Stockholm on Sunday evening.
“They are suspected of disobeying police orders,” said Katarina Bäckström of the Stockholm police to the TT news agency.
The demonstrators had gathered outside of Berns Salonger in nearby Berzelli Park, where the Jewish
Community of Stockholm was holding a party, to protesting against
Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Israel, according to the Dagens
Nyheter (DN) newspaper.
As the protesters lacked a permit to carry out their demonstration,
police encircled the group and attempted to move them away to
Norrmalmstorg.
According to the police, the demonstrators consisted of members of Anti-Fascist Action (AFA), reports DN.
