“New proposal on the terrorist organizations will”
“There is already space in the constitution to prohibit the participation in terrorist organisations. It considers the political scientist Olof Petersson.”
“But justice minister Morgan Johansson does not agree with.”
“the Council of state rejected the recent government proposal to prohibit the participation in and affiliation with terrorist organisations. As the proposal was designed conflict against the constitutional protection for freedom of association, considered the Council of state.”
“According to the Council of state assumed the proposal from the faulty premise that the constitution only protects lovlig business. It would in that case mean that it would be possible that in the common law to criminalize the illicit activities, said the Council. Grundlagsskyddet would not be worth much.”
“the political scientist Olof Petersson argue in a debate article in Dagens Nyheter, already in the day there is wording in the Constitution the second chapter, which would enable the prohibition of participation in terrorist organisations. It is about the Constitution the second chapter, 24 the section, which states that freedom of association may be limited when it comes to the associations of ”
“Because some terrorist might have the military move through to be well organized, have distinctive attire and signs and bear arms under the disciplinary leadership, so”
“But justice minister Morgan Johansson said that he had already tried to go that way.”
” I have asked my officials to look at it. There are two exceptions. One is military, the other is organizations that are persecuting ethnic groups. When it comes to military operations, so it is the space very narrowly designed. It was created in order to be adapted to the legislation we had concerning the unlawfulness of student union work, which is from the 1930s. Therefore, it was in the 1970s when they wrote the Constitution created this space, ” he says to TT.”
“– It is created in order to access the military militias which we had in the other countries, Germany for example. It makes that space is very tight, but we are seeking ways forward here, and I will come back with a revised proposal to criminalize as many actions as possible within the framework of the constitution, ” says Morgan Johansson (S).”
“An idea is to reinforce the part of the bill, which is all about association, but the government also wants to examine how the constitution could be changed.”
” We have said to the government that they must go full speed ahead with both. For me it doesn’t matter how it is prohibited. Sweden will be a rule of law even if the people who have the only idea to cut the head of people and put them up on stilts may not be protected by freedom of association, ” says Johan Pehrson, the spokesperson for the Liberals.”
“in Addition to the two exceptions which the constitution permits from the the freedom of association – associations”
“– is It possible to add ”
“to change the constitution requires, however, an intermediate choice, which means that it may take another four to five years before a law against participation in terrorist organizations is in place.”
“– It is a very boring situation. The problems with returning IS-terrorists we have in Sweden here and now, ” says Johan Forssell, rättspolitisk spokesperson for the moderate party.”
