Talk:Ådalen shootings

Untitled
After Ådalen 31, theere was a law placed that made it illigal for the Swedish army to be used against its own people. Recently I belive it was the last year, the Social Democratic Party (ruling party) a party with heavy connections to the Unions rewrote that law so that it is now okay to use the military agains Swedish Citizens when they are demonstration or "rioting" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.185.28.16 (talk • contribs)
 * No, that is totally false, but it is a common myth in certain circles. There was never such a special law, instead the paragraph from Strafflagen that allowed military assistance was in force until 1969 or 1970. The bill for the new law from 2006 makes it utterly clear that the military cannot be used against demonstrations and even riots (the Gothenburgh events of 2001 are explicitly mentioned as an example).Sjö (talk) 08:40, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
