According to an internal report, which DN was the first to report on, there have been collective punishments, vulgar jargon, lack of food and coercion to participate in activities despite injuries.

- It was physical stuff sometimes, that someone grabs a damn hard or shouts one in the face, says the former recruit who SVT spoke to.

"Should be challenging"

He says he himself was hit in the head by an officer.

The same person could also say that everyone who did not take over 100 kg in bench press was gay.

- People take it differently.

I guess it's something like that that made it the way it is now, says SVT's informant.

However, the former recruit emphasizes that the challenges are an important part of the job that one should be prepared for.

He himself does not think that the officers acted incorrectly.

- Restrictions on food, collective punishment and working with injuries happened all the time.

But you still choose to do it and it should mimic war, it should be challenging.

The union leader: "Incredibly serious"

Therese Timpson, the regiment's communications manager, has in a previous interview with SVT answered in general about the current information about violations:

- We have worked with this for several years through training, but since the problem remains, we have now followed up with interviews and received a report last week.

We see that there are a few individuals who behave like this, but there has also been a culture of silence where they have seen this behavior but not acted.
