A TOWN hit by a spate of sex attacks blamed on newly-arriving migrants has cancelled a festival that will take place under the cover of darkness over safety fears for women.
Girls as young as 10 have been victims of the attackers, who are still on the loose, and police are warning females not to go outside alone at night.
The 14 separate incidents have all been reported in the town of Ostersund, which has a population of 44,300.
While police have refused to release descriptions of the attackers, victims have described the men as of foreign origin.
The council, following discussions with police, have now said Earth Hour, a worldwide environmental event involving lights being turned off for 60 minutes, will be cancelled.
Social Democrat spokesman for the council, Ann-Sofie Andersson, said: Earth Hour is a good and important event, but this year we chose to have the street lights on in view of what has happened. We want everyone to feel safe.
Chief Constable Stephen Jerand added: The police think its a very wise move and that the municipality made a good decision.
Keeping the lights on creates security and is in line with our common efforts to increase security under current conditions.
Vigilante groups have formed in Ostersund with some even joining police in nightly patrols.
Attacks have included the shocking attempted rape of two 10-year-old girls at a bus stop.
Another assault saw three young men wrestle a woman to the ground before trying to rip her clothes off.
However, the victim managed to fight back and escape.
In a separate attack a man in his 20s punched a woman in the face before running off.
Suspicion has been cast on a large migrant camp on the edge of town.
However, so far police have been unable to find the perpetrators.
In a recent press conference police chief Jerald said the attacks were unusual because none of the culprits appeared to be drunk.
He said: The cases of the sexual harassment and attempted rapes have involved groups of up to three people. What stands out is also that none of these perpetrators have been under the influence.
"Now the police are going out and warning women against travelling alone in the city. We have seen a worrying trend.
"This is serious, we care about the protection of women and that is why we are going out and talking about this."
Other shocking incidents involving migrant attacks have rocked Sweden.
They include a number of women being sexually assaulted at a Stockholm music festival.
The police response to that drew huge criticism afterwards with police taking five months to reveal the attacks, which took against girls as young as 11.
Around 50 men, predominantly from Afghanistan, were identified as response for the sexual assaults.
Sweden took in 163,000 migrants in 2015, a far higher proportion than any other Europan nation.
The rapes are just sickening, but cancelling Earth Hour?!? Now we are getting serious!!!!
What they need to realize is that Muslims ought to be terrified of going out at night. Bad things might happen. Make them live in fear. Big time.
This is no reason to cancel Earth Hour.
What are a few rapes when the earth is in the balance?
Ruh Roh. Sex crimes is gonna interrupt erf hour! Now they’re gonna piss somebody off.
Exactly. "Now the police are going out and warning women against travelling alone in the city."
They should go out to the "migrant" camp and warn them that they risk getting the living crap beat out of them (if not worse) if any more rapes occur.
All previous civilizations would know how to handle this, as it is a war situation and these mooselimbs are invaders. You go to the camp. Take the first 10 males between 14 and 50. Line them up and execute them in front of the camp. Then, announce that you want the perps presented to the police within 24 hours. If not, repeat until the camp is empty. Think - what would the Romans do under Caesar in this situation?
Or, as Hillary might reply, "Erf, erf! Erf, erf, erf!"
Yeah, what is it with the gravely voice and chronic cough anyway? I think she has some med issues that would prevent her from taking the job. DQ’d.
No Sheite, Dick Tracy!
I almost forgot!
Need to burn some tires and other stuff in its honor!
A town of 44,300 could easily come up with 4,000 men to kill all of the invaders overnight.
And have the bodies burned before dawn.
May as well line up the women and children naked in the street and go cut their own cowardly throats.
Mother Gaia is deeply displeased.
I agree. Also, if there are any stupid Swedish policemen who have a problem with that sort of solution ... well, they can be dealt with too.
It’s war. People die in war.
New Conservatives are born of mugged liberals...
Keep taking it Sweden. You’ve let your leaders go unscathed and they laugh in your faces while you suffer.
You have no one to blame but yourselves letting your government allowing you to be raped. You’re good serfs to put up with it and not hold your masters accountable.
“What they need to realize is that Muslims ought to be terrified of going out at night. Bad things might happen. Make them live in fear. Big time.”
+1
Although what they really need is to be deported.
