Sweden: Muslim migrant who was sentenced for assault and deported was thwarted by “hero” student Elin Ersson

“I’m trying to change my country’s rules. I don’t like them. It’s not right to send people to hell.”

Except, apparently, one’s own countrymen.

“Despite lacking information about the man who was being deported, most media organizations jumped on the story, with the Washington Post calling Ersson’s stunt a ‘dramatic act of civil disobedience’ while Newsweek magazine described the student as a ‘hero.'”

Typical establishment media propaganda.

“Afghan migrant whose deportation was thwarted by ‘hero’ Swedish student was actually sentenced for assault,” by Lukas Mikelionis, Fox News, July 31, 2018:

    Elin Ersson, a student at Gothenburg University, was subjected to fawning media coverage over her stunt earlier this month when she refused to take her seat on the plane until the 52-year-old Afghan deportee was released. She was successful and authorities weren’t able to deport the man.

    The Swedish student who was branded a “hero” and captured worldwide attention after she stopped the deportation of an Afghan migrant by refusing to sit down on a plane instead prevented the extradition of a man sentenced for assault and whose asylum application was rejected.

    The Swedish student live streamed the whole incident and it was viewed nearly 5 million times on Facebook alone. In the video, she’s heard saying “there is a man who is going to get deported to Afghanistan, where he will most likely get killed” and the she won’t “sit down until this person is off the plane.”…

    “I’m trying to change my country’s rules. I don’t like them. It’s not right to send people to hell,” she added.
