Extreme right-wing organisations are more worrying than radical Islamists
Kristianstad is one of 41 municipalities that may have to deal with people returning from IS, the Islamic State. And the security police, Säpo, suspect that a man living in Kristianstad has been radicalised and is spreading IS propaganda. His children have been taken into care.
Arbete och välfärdsförvaltningen (The Labour and Welfare department) have made an investigation.This shows that the children have been subjected to ”mental and most probably also physical maltreatment”.
””All radicalistion, whether right or left, is a problem”, Andreas Poppius, head of security”
– During my eight years as chairman we’ve had a handful of cases involving children with investigations and subsequent action, in both extreme right-wing and jihadist groups that accept violence, says Radovan Javurek, (L), chairman of the Labour and Welfare committee.
Javurek is also chairman of Brå, the local crime prevention association. He says that the municipality has received information that a woman under 18, an IS-follower, is on her way back. She has previously lived in Kristianstad.
– But Säpo does not know where she is today. This does not pose a threat to us, Javurek emphasises.
””Here in Kristianstad most of our problems have been with the extreme right, for example NMR, Nordic Resistance Movement”, says Andreas Poppius, head of security”
The man who is suspected of having been radicalised is Säpo’s responsibility.
– We don’t have him under close supervision, says Anders Poppius, head of security in the municipality.
– And that people have an ideology that accepts violence is not the same as that they want to, or are able to, put violence into practice.
