The demonstration was organised by groups close to the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK), outlawed by Turkey, which this week warned against \u201cterrorists\u201d being allowed to demonstrate in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey\u2019s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has so far blocked Sweden\u2019s NATO membership, accusing Stockholm of being a haven for the Kurdish activists. To address his concerns, Sweden passed a new law that criminalises \u201cparticipation in a terrorist organisation\u201d. \u201cThey are after the Kurds in Sweden,\u201d Tomas Pettersson, spokesperson for the Alliance Against NATO, told AFP at the protest, titled \u201cNo to NATO, No Erdogan Laws in Sweden.\u201d Petterson added that the idea behind the law is \u201cto have an arrest and a trial and a victim,\u201d so that Erdogan \u201cwill then let Sweden into NATO\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Protesters waved numerous PKK flags, along with signs reading \u201cNo to NATO.\u201d \u201cOur membership in NATO would cause a lot of blackmail from Erdogan,\u201d former Swedish MP Amineh Kakabaveh told AFP.A spokesman for Erdogan on Tuesday said it was \u201ccompletely unacceptable that PKK terrorists continue to operate freely in Sweden\u201d and urged Swedish authorities to block the protest.Even though the PKK is also considered a terrorist organisation in Sweden \u2014 as in the rest of the EU \u2014 its supporters are generally allowed to protest in public.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden and Finland dropped decades of military non-alignment and applied to join NATO in response to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. Finland formally joined in April, however Turkey and Hungary have yet to ratify Sweden\u2019s membership bid. Sweden\u2019s justice minister reiterated on Friday that the new law is not aimed at attacking freedom of speech. Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom on Thursday hailed the new legislation as Sweden\u2019s last step under an accord signed with Turkey last year for Ankara to ratify Stockholm\u2019s membership.<\/p>\n<p>After meeting Erdogan in Turkey, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Sunday called on Ankara to drop its opposition to Sweden\u2019s bid, saying Stockholm has addressed security concerns. Ankara suspended negotiations with Sweden in outrage after protests in January that included a Koran burning outside Turkey\u2019s embassy in Stockholm.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/hundreds-protest-swedens-new-anti-terror-laws\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/hundreds-protest-swedens-new-anti-terror-laws\/\">Hundreds protest Sweden\u2019s new anti-terror laws<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10249,2215,563,848,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-114692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-antiterror","tag-law","tag-protest","tag-sweden","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114692\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
