Yesterday I kept seeing an article about Sweden giving a life sentence to some refugee who was involved in executions for ISIS and there was video of it.
That was my take on it.
“Haisam Omar Sakhanh, 46, was granted refugee status in Sweden after fighting with an Islamist rebel group in Syria”
Video emerged of him murdering one of seven captured Syrian military forces, execution/ISIS style.
Was sentenced to jail for life in Sweden a few days ago.
(that means about ten years, as I understand it)
“Yesterday I kept seeing an article about Sweden giving a life sentence to some refugee who was involved in executions for ISIS and there was video of it.”
I read the same, or similar, article. In the last sentence they mentioned that a “life sentence” in Sweden means 10 years in jail...UNREAL - but they have graduated from saying that the government taking a life (i.e., death sentence) is immoral to saying that the government locking a person away for a long time is now ‘immoral’, regardless, I guess, if they were in the beheading business.
There was a case, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, when we wanted a person (can’t remember if American or not) who was in Europe extradited for murder. The country, Germany I think, wouldn’t do it, because he would face capital punishment. So we said, ok, we promise no capital punishment, they then still said NO, because we might jail the person for life, or close to that long...I don’t know how that ended, but it was an early indication of just how screwed up Europe was becoming.
