"Prosecutors have called for Social Democrat youth leader Anna Sjödin to be sent to jail for allegedly assaulting a bouncer at a bar in Stockholm in January.

On the final day of her trial at Stockholm district court on Thursday, prosecutor Per Lindqvist said Sjödin was guilty of repeatedly physically attacking security guard Babak Jamei.

Linqvist also said that the racist insults she allegedly hurled at him - calling him 'svartskalle' or 'black skull' - meant that she was guilty of a hate crime. He said that a suspended sentence would therefore not suffice."

NOrmally I am against the use of hate crimes, but we all know what the leader of a socialist youth group would be urging the courts to do if the accused were the leader of a Christian youth group or a leader of a conservative youth group. Irony!

"Babek Jamai" don't sound like no Swede name to me, and my grandma's name was Sackerson.
