As late as Saturday, police allowed general rallies, five hours a day the rest of the week, on Södertorg outside premises rented by RFSL.

The fact that our authorities protect them from the police to threaten us is on a whole new level, "said Sandra Ehne, president of RFSL, claiming that she had murdered the police decision in the administrative court.
