Convicted terrorist allowed to continue studying chemistry at KTH

A man who was convicted of terrorism in November for planning to poison visitors to Eurovision with cyanide will be allowed to continue studying chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), reports SVT News Stockholm.

According to class lists obtained by SVT, the man is registered to continue his education, even though KTH wanted to suspend him. However, the university's expulsion committee (HAN) rejected the request.

KTH writes in the request that the man's education has a strong connection to the crimes he was convicted of. This means that he can acquire more knowledge about the subject, which indicates that there is a high risk that he will harm people or property, according to the university.

The man has previously distanced himself from his actions and the groups he was a part of at the time of the crimes.
