In the middle of yesterday's ongoing Pride festival in Berlin, a van drove into a crowd in Tiergarten park.

One person has now been confirmed dead and at least three have life-threatening injuries.

Stockholm Pride begins on Monday. In a statement, the festival's chairman, Tasso Stafilidis, writes that they are closely monitoring developments and that "systematic security work is an important part of the festival's planning every year."

Furthermore, Stockholm Pride is "deeply shaken by the terrible events in connection with Christopher Street Day in Berlin".

According to Stockholm Pride, security work is carried out in close collaboration with the police, the City of Stockholm and other relevant authorities.
