Make entire southern Stockholm a visitation zone

A record-large visitation zone that covers entire southern Stockholm as a response to the wave of bombings. This is demanded by the Social Democrats, reports Aftonbladet.

We must do everything required to stop the explosions, says the party's law policy spokesperson Teresa Carvalho to the newspaper.

We are in a national crisis. The past month has seen an average of one explosion per day, and January is shaping up to be the worst month ever. We see how ordinary people wake up in the middle of the night in panic as windows shatter, and fear and terror spread.

Sweden has been hit by 30 explosions in January, with three occurring on Tuesday.

Since last year, the police have had the opportunity to introduce visitation zones, where they can conduct body searches and vehicle searches without suspicion of a crime, in areas where they assess the risk of explosions or shootings as significant.

The Social Democrats, who previously criticized visitation zones, now want to see a record-large one.

You can also succeed in seizing grenades and explosives that people are carrying, and I believe it can be reassuring for those who live there, says Carvalho.
