>SAC Activist Murdered by Fascists
>
>A long-time, union activist within the Swedish syndicalist union,
>Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation, SAC, was murdered by fascists
>this past Tuesday evening, October the 12th at circa 9pm.
>
>The activist, in his forties, was shot three times outside of his
>apartment in the Stockholm suburb of Sätra. One shot was directly
>through the head.
>
>The syndicalist activist had recently played a crucial role in
>exposing a well-known fascist, Robert Vesterlund, at his workplace in
>southern Stockholm. The fascist had won the confidence of his work
>mates and had been elected as the local union steward. Upon being
>exposed however, the fascist was first removed from his union position
>and later left the union under pressure from central union
>authorities.
>
>In subsequent newspaper articles Vesterlund was quoted as saying "It's
>time to get tough." Vesterlund has since then kept close tabs on the
>syndicalist in question, amongst other things ordering the
>syndicalist's passport photo (a public document according to Swedish
>laws).
>
>Vesterlund was also involved, though never questioned by the police,
>in the car-bombing incident earlier this year in which an antifascist
>journalist and his eight-year-old son were badly injured. He has
>recently joined the notoriously violent Swedish nazi group, Ariska
>Broderskapet (Aryan Brotherhood). Vesterlund's fascist carrier began
>in the youth organisation of the fascist parliamentary party
>Sverigedemokraterna (the Sweden Democrats).
>
>The police arrested three fascists suspected in connection with the
>murder late in the evening of Thursday the 14th.
>
>The SAC will hold manifestations across Sweden against fascist
>violence and in memory of our fallen comrade on Saturday the 23rd of
>October. Similar manifestations are encouraged wherever people wish to
>show their solidarity.
>
>AntiFascistisk Aktion knows all too well which fascists are capable of
>such acts of violence and terror. As long as the Swedish State
>continues to portray antifascists and extra-parliamentary activists as
>"public
>enemies #1", while remaining docile in the face of repeated fascist
>violence, we shall be forced to defend ourselves. The best defence is
>a good offence.
>
>No Fascists On Our Streets!
