'Police send backup to Gotland after reported rape fuels anger'
There's a little island in the Baltic Sea that for many of us, may only be another one of
those places where villages and towns sit quietly and watch the world go by.
Gotland is Sweden's largest island and it's economy leans heavily on concrete production
and tourism. It could be argued that this little chunk of land as some strategic importance
due to it's geographical position with Russia not too-far away.
In regards of current European political manoeuvres, it also makes a fine place for the
mainstream media to attempt to underplay a terrible incident involving five migrant
males gang-raping a female in a wheelchair.
The report below will not relate to the reader that this group of men took the wheelchair
from the woman and took it in turns to sexually assault her regardless of her objections.
But the piece will urge reader to understand that when such atrocities take place, civil unrest
is to be frowned upon.
Of course, the suspects in this crime were released initially because it was deemed by a
Prosecutor that the lady didn't struggle enough.
Except... reality as a nasty habit of stepping in.
'Sweden's national police have sent backup to the island of Gotland following unrest
sparked by the release of five men who were arrested on suspicion of raping a woman.
Five men were arrested earlier this week after a woman in her thirties reported that
she had been raped in a property in the medieval town of Visby on the Baltic Sea island
Gotland, off the east coast of Sweden.
They were released on Wednesday after the prosecutor judged that there was not
enough evidence to ask the court to have them remanded in custody (according to
Swedish law, a prosecutor can detain someone up until noon on the third day after
the arrest, after which a court decision is required to remand them).
The five men, in their twenties, are still understood to be part of an ongoing investigation
into the incident.
The woman's lawyer told the Aftonbladet tabloid earlier this week that she had shared
a taxi home with one of the men after a restaurant visit and needed to use the bathroom.
"She followed him in and had no fears that something would happen.
Then the man took advantage of the situation.
The abuse started in the toilet," her legal representative Staffan Fredriksson said.
The other men are said to have joined them in the property later.
"Where they came from we don't know.
This was going on for a couple of hours," said Fredriksson. "She got paralyzed in this
situation and was not able to bring herself to resist physically, other than saying no."
The woman is understood to be able to walk around her home, but cannot walk long
distances and uses a wheelchair.
See what I mean...? This is another feeble attempt -just like the Trump/Clinton situation
where the media toss vital information to one side in the name of fawning to a pre-agreed
narrative.
'...Police mainland backup arrived on the island on Friday after emotions flared following
media reports on the men's release from custody. Some of this is understood to have
included threats made against the five men. A separate probe has also been launched
after individuals turned up on the prosecutor's doorstep.
"If you're talking about it in very general terms, it is very serious that people try to influence
the legal system. It is obviously serious if that is the purpose," police investigator Mats Holst
told the Hela Gotland newspaper on Thursday, but would not comment further on the latter
incident.
The back-up officers, who have been sent from Stockholm, are to work to prevent violence
or threats from escalating, strengthen safety-building measures and assist in other criminal
investigations on the island.
"It is to make sure that we can handle our fundamental mission as police on Gotland and to
enable us to act on the incidents of the past few days," said Torbjörn Nilsson, the head of
Gotland police, in a statement.
He also told Hela Gotland: "We simply do not accept that people take the law into their own
hands as many have expressed that one should do".

"You have to distinguish between these past weekends and what it is like on Gotland in
general. Gotland is relatively, compared to other places, very safe and there are few crimes
compared to the rest of the country," he added. "But the way people have now acted is
unprecedented."
According to Hela Gotland, 28 rapes have been reported on the island so far this year.
Earlier in the week, Gotland police were forced to delete comments on its Facebook page
after the discussion escalated and several people urged them to release the identities of the
suspects.
"We are restrictive when it comes to specifying ethnicity, description or other information
such as age, appearance and addresses. We do specify that in some cases if it is important
to move the investigation forward and we need the help of the public. Otherwise not," wrote
the police on their Facebook page...'
