Shock in Sweden: Rapist Avoids Deportation
A Swedish court’s jaw-dropping decision has left a teenage victim shattered. In September 2024, 16-year-old Meya Åberg was brutally attacked in a Skellefteå tunnel. Her assailant, Yazied Mohamed, an 18-year-old Eritrean refugee, was convicted of the rape. Yet, the court refused to deport him, sparking fury across Sweden. Why would a nation let a convicted rapist stay? Stick around: you won’t believe the answer.
The Crime That Shook Skellefteå
On September 1, 2024, Meya Åberg had to walk home after working her shift at McDonald’s because she missed her bus. In a dark underpass, Mohamed grabbed her, stole her phone, and assaulted her. The attack lasted minutes but left lifelong scars. Meya fought back, escaping his grip, and called police. DNA evidence sealed Mohamed’s fate, yet the initial trial let him walk free. Only an appeal brought justice—three years in prison and damages to Meya. But deportation? Denied.
Court’s Controversial Call
It wasn’t even a close vote: the Upper Norrland Court of Appeal ruled 4-1 against deportation. Why? The assault didn’t last long enough – it wasn’t “serious enough” to warrant kicking the monster out of Sweden. Despite Meya’s trauma—panic attacks, dropping out of school—the court cited its short duration and Mohamed’s clean record. Sweden’s laws, tied to UN refugee rules, protect him from being deported to a dangerous country like Eritrea – the place where he was born and raised. Meanwhile, Meya lives in fear, spotting her attacker in her hometown, literally having to live in the same town as her rapist.
Victim’s Heartbreaking Struggle
Meya’s life is upended. She avoids going out alone, haunted by nightmares of the assault.
“He destroyed me,” she told reporters, her voice breaking.
And forget about self-defense weapons like pepper spray: they’re illegal in Sweden without a permit, and they make it practically impossible to get one. In July 2022, a 19-year-old woman named Filippa from Uppsala made headlines when police arrested her for carrying the spray in her purse. The public’s outrage grows daily, as it seems that Sweden, like most of Western Europe, seems to hate its own natural-born citizens.
Sweden’s Legal Loophole
Sweden’s Aliens Act sets a high bar for deporting refugees. Only “exceptionally serious” crimes qualify, and rape, shockingly, often doesn’t make the cut. Courts weigh risks like Eritrea’s human rights abuses over victims’ suffering. Similar cases—Eritrean offenders spared despite heinous crimes—show a pattern. It’s a dream come true for Eritrean rapists. All they have to do is carry a stopwatch!
Public Fury and Future Questions
The ruling fuels anger across Sweden and beyond. Where are the men? Right-leaning news outlets like Fria Tider amplify the story, while “mainstream” media glosses over it. Young women and girls fight for justice within a system that is stacked against them. How long will the people of Sweden fail to protect their girls?
