Simona Mohamsson files police report over antisemitic threats
Simona Mohamsson, leader of the Liberal Party, has filed a police report following threats received after wearing a Star of David necklace during a televised party leader debate. Mohamsson stated that online reactions to her gesture serve as evidence of widespread antisemitism in Sweden.
Mohamsson, whose parents are from Palestine and Lebanon, expressed a sense of duty to show solidarity with the Jewish community and to combat hate speech. She emphasized the importance of holding individuals accountable for spreading threats and called for police resources to effectively investigate such incidents.
