Country: Sweden

Date of incident: December 3, 2015


A 26-year-old Syrian, known as "N.N.," was arrested on suspicion of beating and threatening a 16-year-old at an asylum house in Borgholm.

In October, N.N. had been convicted of two counts of making unlawful death threats against a Christian asylum seeker. When arrested, he tried to hide a cell phone on which the police later found pictures from the war in Syria, showing N.N. posing with swords and firearms. For the October crime, N.N. was sentenced to probation and a monetary fine. Read about that incident here. Source: Gatestone Institute
