Sweden is a country that seems to be descending into madness. Their Leftist government’s open door policy towards those immigrants who follow Islam, the religion of rape and murder, has made all Swedes much more unsafe than they were before the Islamic influx. Rape and sexual assaults have risen and a number of Islamic ‘no go areas’ have been created where Muslims live and operate outside the reach of Swedish law. Sweden pays millions upon millions of Krone to support their imported Islamic community, which more often than not turns round and attacks Swedes. Worst of all their media has working within it those who are so politically correct and dishonest that they do not deserve to be called journalists. It is now virtually impossible for a Swede reading Swedish media to read the truth about what is being done to their country by their idiotic politicians.
Now with the arrest of an artist who is critical of the Swedish government’s policy of importing Islamic savages, it’s time to wonder whether Sweden’s place at the table of free countries should be called into question. Yes some artists can be provocative, and may produce work that is challenging to social norms, but that doesn’t mean that they deserve arrest.
The atheist commentator Pat Condell has alerted myself and others to an appalling case of free speech restriction in Sweden. An artist, Dan Park, has been arrested by Swedish police for ‘hate speech’ in three artworks, one of which is reproduced above as the header image.
Avpixlat, a Swedish online publication, closely associated with the patriotic political party the Swedish Democrats has carried this story about the arrest of Dan Park. Please accept my apologies for the appalling electronic translation from Swedish to English, but there is enough there to get a feel of what has happened.
Avpixlat said:
“On Thursday last week arrested the controversial artist Dan Park in two days. For a long time it was unclear why, but the Danish chronicler Uwe Max Jensen tells us today at Trykkefrihedsselskabets blog the astonishing story.
It all began when police visited the gallery owner Henrik Rönnquist Wednesday 2 March to look for Dan Park, who sometimes stay with Rönnquist. But this time he was not there. Police were looking not only for Park, but also for his computer. Later that day the police came to the Park’s girlfriend’s apartment in the same case, but in vain. Neither the artist or the computer was there when the police knocked on.
Saturday, March 5 police searched again for Park and PDA at two different addresses, and again without results. Dan Park was then abroad, in Brussels, which explains it.
Tuesday, March 8 artist returned to his native country and was arrested when police in the afternoon. He was detained for two days and released on Thursday, charged with hate speech for three artworks.
One of the entered works of art can be seen above, a satire of the movement “Refugees Welcome”, where the park wants to show how the terrorist criminal asylum seekers, hidden in migrant flows, naively welcomed. Complaint against Dan Park for this drawing was done by the Legal Front, which also previously prepared Malmo Artist major problems.
A second application concerns a drawing depicting the murder sentenced Peter Mang that this provocative and cross depicted as a film hero Charles Bronson with a logo from the pest control company Anticimex.
Even a third works have been notified. It shows the black criminal gangs Michael Brown who was shot by a police officer in Missouri, USA, in August 2014. Meanwhile, the trial of the police lasted founded the movement Black Lives Matter. The policeman was acquitted because the Court found that he acted in self-defense. Dan Parks subscription Michael Brown a T-shirt with the text ‘Black Riot Beacause We Are Worthless’. The interpretation of the fact is that with all the art in the eye of the beholder.
Previous complaints against Park of similar nature led to the artist in 2014 was sentenced to five months in prison for incitement to racial hatred. Parks gallery Henrik Rönnquist sentenced at the same time a suspended sentence with two years probation.
Seven works were seized at the time raided the gallery and burned by the National Laboratory of Forensic Science. The incident is reminiscent of the Nazi book burnings in 30th century Germany and Ray Bradbury’s dystopian future of “Fahrenheit 451”.
Dan Park now has been as long in prison as the Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei, writes Uwe Max Jensen and compare with how inconsistent some of the Swedish art establishment set up on the Swedish artist. In this context it may be mentioned that Dan Park was interviewed recently in short Ezra Levant’s The Rebel Media, a Canadian webbteve- channel.
Prompt:
If every friend of freedom of expression, freedom of opinion and artistic freedom takes on a t-shirt with Dan Parks drawing above or posting the picture on his Facebook page, the police would be forced to deal with thousands of complaints, which in turn could initiate a broad debate about the freedoms that are fundamental in a western democracy. Right-click the image, select “Save Image As …” and then load it on your FB page or blog. Or send the image to any company that pushes up t-shirts.
Another method would be to any of Avpixlats reader proclaims his house or apartment to the “safe haven” for Dan Park following the example of ICORN and PEN. There he can live and create in peace until the Swedish society’s political persecution of artists and censorship of art decreases. Learn about the Sanctuaries on the Arts Council and submit a report. Are you more of a neighborhood or a village, the better.

Arresting artists, burning artworks that offend the Left or the Islamic savages, the fear of the police knocking the door of an art gallery in order to sieze artwork and apprehend artists are not the sort of things that happen in free societies. When we look at incidents like this we should ask ourselves ‘is Sweden free?’ Sadly there is a growing amount of evidence being given that seems to indicate that Sweden is not free. If you parrot government approved lines such as ‘Isn’t Islam lovely’ or ‘refugees welcome’, then you will be left alone, but question these nostrums and it will not be long before the cell door swings shut behind you.
Sweden has become the land of the un-free, and unless the Left and the Islamopanderers are not faced down where you are, your country would also be classed as un-free as well.
Support Dan Park and share the hell out of the image at the top of the page. We must be silent no longer, there is too much at stake.

The Swedish language text of this story can be found below:
“Ett av de anmälda konstverken syns här ovanför, en satir över rörelsen “Refugees Welcome”, där Park vill visa hur terrorkriminella asylsökande, gömda i migrantströmmarna, naivt välkomnas. Anmälan mot Dan Park för denna teckning gjordes av Juridikfronten, som även tidigare berett Malmökonstnären stora problem.
En andra anmälning gäller en teckning föreställande den för mord dömde Peter Mangs som här provokativt och gränsöverskridande skildras som filmhjälten Charles Bronson med en logo från skadebekämpningsbolaget Anticimex.
Även ett tredje verk har anmälts. Det visar den svarte gängbrottslingen Michael Brown som sköts av en polis i Missouri, USA, i augusti 2014. Under tiden rättegången mot polisen pågick startades rörelsen Black Lives Matter. Polismannen frikändes eftersom rätten ansåg att han agerat i självförsvar. På Dan Parks teckning har Michael Brown en t-shirt med texten ‘Black Riot Beacause We Are Worthless’. Tolkningen av verket ligger som med all konst i betraktarens öga.
Tidigare anmälningar mot Park av liknande slag ledde till att konstnären 2014 dömdes till fem månaders fängelse för hets mot folkgrupp. Parks gallerist Henrik Rönnquist dömdes samtidigt till villkorlig dom med två års prövotid.
Sju konstverk beslagtogs den gången vid en räd mot galleriet och brändes av Statens Kriminaltekniska Laboratorium. Händelsen för tankarna till nazisternas bokbål i 30-talets Tyskland och Ray Bradburys framtidsdystopi “Fahrenheit 451”.
Dan Park har nu suttit lika länge i fängelse som den kinesiske dissidenten och konstnären Ai Weiwei, skriver Uwe Max Jensen och jämför med hur inkonsekvent lite det svenska konstetablissemanget ställt upp på den svenska konstnären. I sammanhanget kan nämnas att Dan Park intervjuades kort nyligen i Ezra Levants The Rebel Media, en kanadensisk webbteve- kanal.
Uppmaning:
Om varje vän av yttrandefrihet, åsiktsfrihet och konstnärlig frihet tar på sig en t-shirt med Dan Parks teckning ovan eller lägger upp bilden på sin Facebook-sida skulle polisen kunna tvingas ta itu med tusentals anmälningar, vilket i sin tur skulle kunna initiera en bred debatt kring de friheter som är grundläggande i en västerländsk demokrati. Högerklicka på bilden, välj “Spara bild som…” och lägg sedan upp den på din FB-sida eller blogg. Eller skicka bilden till något företag som trycker upp t-shirts.
En annan metod vore att någon av Avpixlats läsare utropar sitt hus eller lägenhet till “fristad” för Dan Park efter förebild från ICORN och PEN. Där kan han vistas och skapa i lugn och ro tills dess det svenska samhällets politiska förföljelse av konstnärer och censur av konst minskar. Läs om Fristäder på Kulturrådet och skicka in en anmälan. Är ni flera i ett kvarter eller en by, desto bättre.

I realize that it might be a quirk of auto translation rather than a typo.
Yep looks like an auto translate error. Such software is not perfect.
