It was at the end of June last year that there was a quarrel between members of the Nordic Resistance Movement, NMR, and counter-protesters at Bantorget in central Lund. In connection with the brawl, a number of counter-protesters were abused and seven NMRs were prosecuted for, among other things, abuse and violent resistance. All but one have denied crime.

Three are sentenced to prison

So today the verdict came and Lund's district court sentenced three of the NMRs to prison. Three are sentenced to conditional judgment or probation. One of the defendants is released by the court.

A 29-year-old man is sentenced to six months in prison for assault after abusing several people with punches and kicks and for violently resisting an order guard. A 30-year-old man is sentenced to four months in prison for the same crime. A 32-year-old man is sentenced to three months' imprisonment for assault, assault and carrying a knife in public places.

A 25-year-old and a 26-year-old are both sentenced to conditional sentence and daily fines for ill-treatment and attempted ill-treatment respectively. An 18-year-old who is charged with attempted assault is acquitted.

Only one acknowledged

All the six Nazis have constantly denied crime. The only one who acknowledged a 24-year-old, he has since left the Nazi movement as well. He is sentenced to protection and community service for 100 hours.

In the judgment, the district court writes that the 24-year-old had previously been sentenced to safeguard for other crimes and that during that time he behaved without complaint. He participated in a treatment program and has developed positively. The sentence for what he did is four months' imprisonment, but the court believes that since the 24-year-old has now gotten out of an abuse, abstains from violence and works, there are special reasons for instead sentencing him to patronage and community service.
