“They apply the sharia law, beheads people on the open street, and stands behind the war that the united nations called ”the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis”. They expose regularly to its citizens for violence and torture, and in the years they have executed 100 people. During a single day in the last week executed 37 people in public. Opposition bloggers whipped, women suspected of infidelity or ”
“A child dies every ten minutes.”
“It sounds just like the terror that IS behind, but instead of condemnation, this contributes to Sweden, with money, arms and tax-funded schools. In april this year, the Swedish hypocrisy around saudi Arabia to new levels. Recently leaked documents show, namely, that the Swedish Saab’s radar – and stridsledningssystem are on a list of equipment used in Yemen – a war that has left 80 per cent of the population in acute need of humanitarian assistance and protection. Where a child dies every ten minutes.”
“Saab themselves would of course not comment on how their customers use the products. Probably, they could not afford to care. The Swedish arms industry has a turnover of 30 billion per year and the business model for companies such as Saab, based on the ongoing bloody conflicts in the world.

How many do not even know the Swedish schools Inspectorate, since the transparency is poor.”
“To separate the business and ideology from each other is impossible when you have to do with countries such as saudi Arabia. “
“they Want their money, so it will be not from their crimes. At the same time as we say the us have a ”feminist foreign policy” moons we are about good relationships to countries that violate human rights. Companies want to make money is not news.
