It was in November that the Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in one of the cases relating to the Easter coup in Sveaparken.

The case concerns serious sabotage against blue light operations, where two men have been convicted.

In the appeal, one of the men's lawyers writes that there is a great need for guidance from the Supreme Court.

Among other things, because there is a lack of guidance on how sentencing should take place and that there is a lack of guiding practice.

Another thing that the defense has turned against is the classification of the deed.

According to the defence, it should be classified as a violent riot instead of gross sabotage against blue light operations.

The Attorney General has also said that there is a point in testing the legislation regarding sabotage against blue light operations, because it is new.

The Attorney General also thinks that the practice for the length of the prison sentence should be determined by the High Court and be longer than five years, which is the level of the Court of Appeal in the country.

In today's ruling, the Supreme Court has looked at how the crimes are classified and the damages awarded.

However, the two men will not be able to be sentenced to a higher sentence, because the prosecutor did not appeal to the Supreme Court.

Several judgments have been appealed after the Easter coup, but this is the first case where the Supreme Court has granted leave to appeal.
