Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/lag-2005900-om-forbud-mot-maskering-i-vissa_sfs-2005-900/
This appears to be the relevant law, basically from what I understand, it's illegal to wear a mask at a public demonstration or gathering, if there is a "disruption of the public order", or the cops claim there to be an imminent risk of public order being disrupted.
It also says theres an exception for religious face coverings, and also that there is some cut out in the law allowing for a demonstration to have gained permission in advance to have masked participants.
Good grief, it's been in place from 2005? I did not know that Sweden has been this far into reactionary territory for this long, although I do know a bit about the moral panics about immigrants and such, those sort of leak across the Baltic.
Anyone aware if the face coverings in this demo were face masks (covid/health protection)? The Swedes seem to have a very weird fash aversion to them along with Finns, the playbook of herd immunity by letting the weak die pretty much came from Sweden. Stronghold of eugenism showing its true colours.
I don't think so. From the linked article:
You can see that in the video as well.
