Prosecutors close the investigation into incitement against an ethnic group in connection with a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Saturday.

The Central Jewish Council is requesting that the decision be reconsidered.

During the demonstration, there was, among other things, a sign that resembled the famous Auschwitz entrance, but where the text "Arbeit macht frei" had been replaced with the word "Gaza".

But according to prosecutor Lukas Eriksson, there is no reason to assume that any crime was committed.

What is required for it to be called incitement against an ethnic group has not been met, he says.

Attorney Monique Wadsted represents the Central Jewish Council and the Jewish Congregation in Stockholm, whose report did not reach the prosecutor. She has now requested that the prosecutor conduct a review.

Our complaint was never part of the decision, so now we have submitted our complaint and an application for reconsideration.
