DISINFO: Immigrants are fighting a war in Sweden

SUMMARY

The Swedish PM says it is necessary to deploy the army in Sweden because the immigrants are fighting a war against the police authorities, in areas that were “multi-cultural test sites” also known as no-go zones. (the picture subtitle says “Burned out cars in a district of Sweden where mainly immigrants live).

RESPONSE

The Swedish PM considered that the army would assist the police in crime fighting against criminals in "turf battles between gangs over drugs, protection rackets and prostitution." and not immigrants. www.reuters.com/article/us-sweden-violence/swedish-pm-does-not-rule-out-use-of-army-to-end-gang-violence-idUSKBN1F629L,
