Yasin's performance at Trädgården festival in Kristianstad was canceled the day before the concert, after the police made a new assessment of the safety. Now the organizer Sam Doorali tells Aftonbladet that he did not receive any information about the police withdrawing the permit.
Instead, the message came via the media.
We are very questioning that we were contacted by the media half an hour before we received the message, who wanted us to confirm this, he says to the newspaper.
Doraali claims that the decision to stop the performance came from "higher up" and that the local police were overridden.
The police's press spokesperson says, however, to the newspaper that the organizer was contacted a few minutes after the decision to stop the performance was made.
Also, two previously planned concerts with Yasin have been canceled this summer.
