Animal rights and Racists working together

Swedish person living in Manchester | 24.11.2011 10:53 | Animal Liberation | Migration

In one small town in Sweden (Örebro) we have seen Animal Rights and Racists groups working together on the same targets. For example shops selling fur have been attacked when the owners are of Turkish or origin or are Jewish, fast food outlets run by white Swedes are ignored while those run by immigrant people have their windows smashed.

Now in a very worrying development a family is being forced out of the country by joint Animal Rights and Racist attacks.

The butcher shop 'Charkhandlarn' in Örebro has now closed due to repeated attacks on the owner a Mr Mirza Kikic's. Both his shop and home have been attacked with dog mess pushed through his letterbox and bottles of tar thrown at his shop. Mr Kikic came to Sweden fleeing oppression in the country of his birth but he now says he will leave Sweden to protect his family.

The AR group 'DBF' has boasted how they have driven him away and closed his business while the Swedish racist organisation 'Komma Tillbaka' have said they closed the shop by 'working with people we know and trust'.

Earlier in the year AR and extremists worked openly together when what was supposed to be a demo outside of Astra Zeneca's Swedish HQ in Södertälje become later on a nasty verbal attack on a Morrocan student who happened to be walking past. The student had no connection to Astra Zeneca but was first abused as a "valp mördare" (a puppy killer) however once he made clear he was nothing to do with Astra Zeneca the mood changed with shouts of "gå hem" (go home)and "komma tillbaka till ditt hemland" (go back to your country).

In June Örebro fish shop owner Sven Herman had his shop attacked. His 'crime' was to being a prominent employer of Turkish and Morrocan immigrants to Sweden. Like other attacks on shops selling fur where only Jewish owned establishements were attacked the fish shops run by white Swedes were left alone.

I ask Animal Rights peoples in England who may know some others in Sweden to not work with Racists and the political right, they are not the proper people to consort with.
