The organisation for swedish israel-information posts a translated text from Lennart Eriksson, swedish blogger who got fired from Swedish National Migration Board. I am reposting this to spread the word internationally about this wrong-doing:
”What should we tell the refugees from Gaza, who are fleeing the opression of the Hamas? Last time I worked at the National Migration Board most Palestinian refugees left Gaza for the very reason that Hamas was after them. Perhaps we, like the Migration Board, should tell them that Hamas is struggling for freedom?” Those are the words of todays writer, LENNART ERIKSSON, former group manager at the Swedish National Migration Board. […]
This caused the legal manager of said agency, the National Migration Board, whose name is Mikael Ribbenvik, to say that I, through my blog, “took a stance in a conflict without understanding of his own actions, he doesn’t see the consequenses, thereby showing poor judgment.” (Göteborgs fria tidning 09-03-12). Director-General Dan Eliasson, contrary to this, said to Dagens Nyheter 2009-01-16 that he didn’t have any comments about my opinions or my blog, and that I was fired for other reasons. But, as the article in Dagens Nyheter puts it, “why, in spite of this, it was still Lennart Erikssons opinions that were put forward against him, even in the district court, Eliasson is unable to answer.”
