Busy All Saints' weekend and ambassador's deportation

The police had an intensive Christmas Eve night operation in Skåne involving drug parties, assault and theft. At the same time, Afghanistan's former ambassador to Sweden has been notified of his deportation to the USA, and he hopes that the court will overturn the decision.

Chaotic All Saints’ night – party in Limhamn got out of hand

Police in Skåne had an intense night during the All Saints’ weekend. At 10:30 on Saturday evening, police were called to a home in Limhamn in Malmö, where around 100 young people had gathered for a party. A boy aged 15 had been beaten and was taken to hospital for examination. There is currently no suspect in the assault.

Several electronic devices were reported stolen at the party, and some could be returned after a boy was found at a nearby bus stop with the items in a bag. He is now suspected of aggravated theft. Around 70–80 people were at the railway station in Tomelilla when police arrived at 21:00 on Saturday. Several younger people were collected by their parents, some were turned away from the area, and several intoxicated people were detained. A boy under 15 was aggressive and confrontational towards police and is suspected of violence and threats against a public official. SVT Nyheter Skåne

Former ambassador to be deported – hopes for the courts

Afghanistan's former ambassador to Sweden has been told that he is to be deported from Sweden. He is being deported to the USA, where he has had permanent residency, a so-called green card. He says he is not sure whether the USA will grant him a visa, since his residence permit there may have been revoked.

He was Afghanistan's ambassador to Sweden between 2019 and 2024. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not renew his diplomatic residence permit, he applied for asylum in Sweden in December 2024. He has appealed the decision to the Migration Court – a court that examines appeals in migration cases – and hopes that it will overturn the negative decision. Several family members, including his sons and grandchildren, live in Sweden. He also says that he risks persecution if he is forced to return to Afghanistan. SVT Nyheter Skåne

Riding accidents spread as entertainment on social media

Under the hashtag #ridingfails, video clips of riders falling off their horses in more or less dramatic sequences are spreading. A doctoral student in sports science at Malmö University has, together with two fellow researchers, analysed more than 60 video clips showing riders, mainly young girls, falling off their horses.

The researcher says that risk culture is being spread as entertainment, normalizing something that is actually risky and serious. Every year, between 10,000 and 13,000 people are injured in riding accidents, with about half sustaining injuries serious enough to require hospital care. One of the accounts the researchers have followed has over 5,000 posts. SVT Nyheter Skåne
