Mounted Riot Police Trample Anti-Nazi Protesters In Sweden (Graphic photos at link, warning for #blood #gore #police brutality)

August 24th, 2014

At least 10 people were injured in the Swedish city of Malmö after local police unleashed a mounted charge at participants of a rally against Sweden’s neo-Nazi party. Clashes with police erupted as anti-fascist activists attempted to block a rival rally.

Around 1,500 people on Saturday gathered at the Limhamn square in the center of Malmö to protest the planned speech by Stefan Jacobsson, the leader of the neo-Nazi Svenskarnas Parti (The Swedes’ Party).

The police explained their actions by saying that they had to intervene as the events escalated in the square

“We were forced to ride in because masked demonstrators had moved to the outside of the square and we needed to make some arrests,” Ewa-Gun Westford, police spokesman, told the TT news agency.

Ten people were taken to hospital after the rally, with five of them reportedly suffering serious injuries.
