Demonstrations in Sweden on May 9th, 1998

Saturday the 9th of March saw a number of demonstrations in Sweden.

In the town of Linköping an anti-fascist demonstration was held with 300 
militant participants. Linköping has been the scene of a number of 
fascist attacks against homosexuals and leftists during the past months 
which all began with a brutal nazi attack on the Crystal Night 
demonstration last November 9th. The nazi music organisation Nördland 
has a space in this town and this was the subject of today's 
demonstrators anger. However, 150 riot police made their presence felt.

In Stockholm 2 000 anti-abort Christian wackos demonstrated for the 
"right to life." Approximately 50 anarcha-feminists heckled the 
Christians as they began their short march to hold an appeal outside of 
the closed buildings of parliament. Most of the Christians were bussed 
in from outside of Stockholm and the German and English language were 
heard spoken throughout their ranks. In previous years the 
ultra-right-wing Christian sect "Livets Ord" has been able to arrange 
similar marches with up to 10 000 participants. Their influence seems to 
be waning.

An anti-fascist demonstration with 200 militant participants was held in 
Stockholm today as a reminder of the victory over nazi Germany and an 
end to the second World War in Europe. The demonstration occurred 
without incident although the police presence was considered unusually 
large for a demonstration that had a legal permit.

Later in the day in Stockholm anti-pornography activists held a series 
of happenings across the central city in protest against the three 
existing bordellos openly operating here
and their mobile advertising trucks which have recently began rolling 
again - after the last eight have been destroyed in arson attacks.
