https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/19/elin-ersson-swedish-student-video-grounded-deportation-flight-prosecution
Sweden is to prosecute the 21-year-old student who single-handedly grounded an aircraft preparing to deport an Afghan asylum seeker. Elin Ersson broadcast her one-woman protest on Facebook in July, during which she refused to sit down on the flight from Landvetter airport in Gothenburg, thereby preventing it from taking off. The video has been watched 13m times. Several other passengers, including an entire football team, joined her protest and an asylum seeker was removed from the plane to applause from passengers. On Friday, Swedish prosecutors announced that Ersson would be prosecuted at Gothenburg district court for crimes against the aviation law after the incident on 23 July. She had not complied with the captains request and had refused to sit despite repeated requests from the crew, prosecutors said. She faces a fine and up to six months in jail. She's the girl who protested on the plane to keep a criminal asylum seeker from being deported back to his home country. Now she could get up to 6 months in jail. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean what she did was civil disobedience. Part of the whole point of civil disobedience is that you're ready to face the consequences, so this is perfectly fair no matter if you're on her side or not IMO

Does anyone believe she's going to get more than a slap on the wrist? She might be facing 6 months but we all know she won't see any time. It's literally Sweden.

She hasn't been sentenced yet, I hope the judge will realize her good intent and not give her the maximum six months in prison.

Wasn't that asylum seeker a rapist The article says he had a criminal record, but doesn't provide any information on what crimes he committed. She didn't go there to protest for him. She went to protest the deportation of a different refugee, but he wasn't on the flight. So she protested for the refugee who happened to be getting deported that day. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
