The government's investigators have suggested that it should be criminal to call for suicide and that the crime should give up to two years in prison, writes Ekot.

The proposal is out for a referral, but support for a ban is great in Parliament. The Christian Democrats, Liberals and Moderates are positive.

- We think it's a good proposal, and it's something we stand for. We see that this is a growing problem, not least in the footsteps of social media, so we welcome it, says Johan Forssell, Moderate's spokesperson for political affairs.

Prohibited in European countries

The left party thinks it is "reasonable" to criminalize, as the red-green government parties also think. The Center Party has not taken a stand. The Swedish Democrats have motivated for a ban and justify their proposal that "the act results in a fellow man losing his life".

In several European countries, such as France and Norway, heat to suicide is a crime today.
