On Thursday, two men were sentenced to one and a half years in prison each for aggravated assault. The district court states that the men undoubtedly belong to and are active in White boys, which is the name of the Stockholm section of Activklubb Sverige – the same organization whose activities the son of Minister for Migration Johan Forsell (The Moderate Party) participated in.

Four more men – who according to ETC's survey belong to the right-wing extremist group – are detained, suspected of violent crimes that occurred in August this year, where three different people were assaulted within the span of half an hour. The men are suspected of having shouted racist insults and made "sieg heil" while hitting and kicking the victims, the newspaper writes. The acts are being investigated as hate crimes.

Today's ETC has mapped 43 men across the country who are connected to the violence-advocating group. The average age of these is 21 years.
