Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have gathered at Vasaplatsen in Gothenburg on Wednesday. According to the police, it's about 15 people with flags and placards.

The police are on site with a smaller effort and a report of a crime against the Public Order Act has been drawn up since the assembly is not permitted.

But otherwise, they are allowed to continue demonstrating. The only request is that they do not set up new tents, says police spokesperson Jens Andersson to TT.

It was in May last year that a tent camp grew up outside Gothenburg University at Vasaplatsen. During nearly 200 days, students protested, demanding that the university would condemn Israel's warfare in Gaza.

In November, the demonstrators were evicted from the site by the police and the tents were torn down.
