Swedish Police have set up a register of 4000 Roma people – just for
the sake that they are Roma people, the Swedish police confirms this,
reports several Swedish media sources.
This is creepy and scary and some experts are beginning to see such
action resembling what happened in Germany, where the aim was to
exterminate the Romas and the Jews.
Many of those registered have no criminal record and are completely
crime free, unpunished and over a thousand of those registered are
children. Of the more than a thousand of the approximately 4,000
registered Roma children are as young as two years old, writes Dagens
Nyheter which also stress that Monday morning it could also tell that
the register, also includes Roma marital status, address and birthdays.
842 of the children in the registry were born in the 2000s, and several of them are well below the age of criminal responsibility. According to several lawyers, the newspaper has spoken with, it is illegal in Sweden to establish a registry that is based on a particular ethnicity.
The police admit to the Swedish tabloid newspaper, Expressen, that
there is a record of the country’s Roma, but reject to say if the
police is the authority behind it.

“There is such a register, but it is not approved by the authorities.
We are now investigating whether it is an individual or a few employees
who have established the Register,” says press officer at Skåne police,
Lars Förstell, to Expressen, adding:
“It is not in accordance with the rules,” he acknowledges.
Also at the National Police, the case is being examined. “We are
looking at whether we had access to it,” says Sara Kvarnström, the
press secretary of the Swedish criminal Police, Rikskriminalpolisen, to
Expressen.
Left Party’s legal affairs spokesman, Lena Olsson is one of the first
politicians who have to call for an explanation from the police.
“If the information is correct, it is a scandal. The Left Party demands
an explanation from the highest police authority,” says Lene Olsson.
