(AFP) A Stockholm demonstration against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Sweden’s planned NATO membership has been given the go-ahead for this weekend despite Ankara’s objections, Swedish police told AFP on Friday.
“We are going to ensure that all those present on Sunday are able to exercise their rights protected by the constitution,” including freedom of expression, Stockholm police spokesman Ola Osterling said.
The demonstration, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday in the city centre, is titled “No to NATO, No Erdogan Laws in Sweden.”
It is organised by the “Alliance against NATO,” which includes the pro-Kurdish Rojava Committee among others.
