Woman charged with threatening politician's two-year-old daughter
A woman in her 70s from Skåne has been charged with writing a threatening message directed at a municipal politician's young child. In a comment on Instagram, the woman wished that Blerta Hoti Singh's (S) two-year-old daughter would be raped and killed.
The incident occurred last year on social media. The Social Democratic municipal councillor in Gothenburg has previously spoken about the severe online abuse she has been subjected to, in which her family has also been drawn in.
The suspect is resident in Skåne. The prosecutor has decided to press charges against her for the threatening post.
Blerta Hoti Singh has publicly raised the issue of the hatred and threats directed at elected representatives, particularly women with a foreign background. She has described how the threats do not only affect her personally but also close relatives.
