The Joys of Diversity & Cultural Enrichment (XXI)

Which Western country is getting the most out of its immigration policy? Today's contenders are Sweden, Canada and Britain.


1) Sweden

A mildly retarded teenage girl was raped by two immigrant youths. Not only was this incident not covered by the mainstream press, the two local papers that did pick it up tried to garner sympathy for the youths, referring to them as 'refugee children' (flyktingbarn).

From Gates of Vienna:

Many thanks to Zonka for the translation:

A fifteen-year-old girl with a slight retardation was forced to an apartment in Gävle, where she was raped by two young men. Both men had non-consensual vaginal intercourse with the young girl. Such an incident ought to have generated a big black headlines in the press. This is what the state’s “free and unfettered” news reporting looks like. SR [Swedish State’s Radio and Television — translator] didn’t even manage to pick the right month in their report. The rape happened in March.

Sveriges Radio Gävleborg — 2009-06-23

Two boys 17 and 19 years old were convicted today of the rape of a 15-year-old girl in an apartment in Gävle at the beginning of May. The 19-year-old was sentenced to two years in prison and the 17-year-old to juvenile detention for eight months. In addition they must also pay 82,500 Swedish Kronor for damages to the girl.]

Immediately after 7pm on March 8 a girl calls SOS [911 equivalent] and says that she has been raped by two men. A police patrol picks up the girl and transports her to the hospital. A medical exam is conducted with a so-called “rape kit”. The girl is able to identify the apartment where the rape took place, and the police conduct a house search; the apartment is owned by the two convicted rapists.

Gävle municipal court B 621-09 and conviction is announced on June 23, 2009.

• Ali Rasoul Mohamed, born 1991 and citizen of Iraq is convicted by the court on the following counts

1.		Abuse
2.		Illegal Threats
3.		Rape

The consequence is confinement to juvenile detention for 8 months and expulsion from the country with an order not to return for 10 years. To the raped girl he shall pay 85,000 kronor in damages.

• Twana Salmon Mustafa, born 1990 and citizen of Iraq is convicted to two years of prison. He shall be expelled from the country with an order not to return within 10 years. Furthermore he shall pay 85,000 Kronor in damages to the raped girl.

Costs for a public defense and legal counsel for the girl is paid by the state, and the total amount is 149,142 kronor.

Ali Rasoul Mohamed is also convicted for abuse and illegal threats; this incident takes place in “Sesam”, which is a home for so-called “unaccompanied refugee kids”. It is some brawl in the kitchen with a bread-knife against another refugee kid that he is convicted of.

The rapes: — The girl doesn’t really want to follow the two men, but since they are pushing her [literally] and one of the men holds her arm, she reluctantly follows them to the apartment on Urbergsterassen in Gävle. Inside the apartment one of the men goes into the kitchen and closes the door. The girl is alone with Twana Salmon Mustafa, who starts kissing her, even though she dodges this and says that she wants to go home. Twana Salmon Mustafa pushes her towards two beds, pulls her over and starts undressing her. When the girl is naked Twana Salmon Mustafa takes off his own clothes, hurts her legs and consummates intercourse with her. When he is “finished” he calls Ali Rasoul Mohamed, who is in the kitchen. He enters the room basically naked, dressed only in a shirt, and consummates vaginal intercourse with the girl.

The girl’s mother and [maternal] grandmother testify in court that the girl alternates between crying and despair, and that chaos has entered the family since the rape. The plaintiff dares not go outside alone after the rape. The mother says that the girl’s logical reasoning is on par for her age but her maturity is five years behind her real age.

Rasoul Mohamed tells the court that the girl wanted to have sex with him after Twana Salmon Mustafa had had intercourse with her. Twana Salmon Mustafa says that he has never had sex with a girl who is 15-16 years old and that he has never forced any girl to have sex with him.

The city court finds the girl’s story credible coupled with the technical evidence such as DNA from the perpetrator. The policeman who picked up the girl after the rapes is also in the court and supports the girl’s story.

Both men lack attachment to Sweden and shall be convicted to expulsion from the kingdom. If the verdict is to be appealed, the last date for this is July 14, 2009.

2) Canada

An Afghan murderer dubbed the 'Midway Killer' in Ottawa has committed a lengthy list of crimes and infractions during his six years in jail - but his defence insist that he has served so long on remand for manslaughter that he should be released:

OTTAWA — Prosecutors seeking lengthy jail time for Midway killer Wahab Dadshani have produced a list of misdemeanours that the 31-year-old committed during his almost six years in jail.

A jury found Afghanistan-born Dadshani guilty of manslaughter last month in the September 2003 killing of Charbel Chaar at the Midway Family Fun Park, off St. Laurent Boulevard.

Chaar, who was badly beaten during the attack, died from blood loss after Dadshani attacked him with a sword.

There is a significant gulf between the 15-year sentence assistant Crown prosecutor Robert Wadden is seeking and the immediate released being sought by Dadshani’s lawyers. Now, what was scheduled as a two-day sentencing hearing, will last at least another day.

Wadden called Ottawa Regional Detention Centre security manager Jean-Marc Joly Tuesday to testify about Dadshani’s disciplinary record that dates back to Oct. 10, 2003, a month after he was arrested.

Joly listed about a dozen infractions that included refusing a strip search for religious reasons, spitting on a cell door, inciting other prisoners, smoking tobacco in his cell, refusing to leave a staff passageway after being asked three times to do so and using profanity while suggesting that another inmate should be forced to engage in a sexual act with “a 1,000 mules.”

He was also disciplined for possessing a newspaper story containing a photograph of the institution’s deputy superintendent Mark Grady — not a contravention of rules, said Joly, but an incident that made prison authorities concerned about Grady’s safety.

Dadshani has spent much of his incarceration at the Ottawa facility in “closed confinement” meaning he has been locked in a cell for more than 23 hours, with 20 minutes allowed for exercise.

During time “in the hole” prisoners have a metal bed without a mattress (until night time) and are allowed one book. They eat in their cell, segregated from other prisoners.

Under questioning from defence lawyer Mark Ertel, Joly said Dadshani had also periods in segregation because of construction at the jail.

Dadshani is currently in solitary although not for any specific offence, added Joly.

Ertel has told Justice Hugh McLean that any extra prison time for the manslaughter conviction would be excessive punishment.

Ertel said the 31-year-old should be given two-for-one credit for the almost six years he has already been in custody and be immediately released.

During the early part of Dadshani’s detention, conditions have sometimes been considered so bad at the Ottawa facility that judges were giving three-for-one credit for time served there — a fact Ertel has signalled he intends to raise during the hearing, which continues on Wednesday.

3) Britain

A violent train robber has been jailed for mugging and threatening to stab a string of commuters in South London:

A Crystal Palace man who threatened to stab his victims in a spate of robberies on trains in Streatham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

Gabriel Matu, 18, of no fixed address but local to the Crystal Palace area, robbed seven passengers between December 20 last year and January 28.

He targeted victims for their mobile phones and threatened to “shank” - stab - them if they did not hand over their possessions.

He was arrested after British Transport Police (BTP) used CCTV to trace his movements after he robbed a man on board a train at Streatham railway station, then was stopped by a ticket inspector for travelling without a ticket.

Each of the victims was put through a frightening ordeal by Matu, the BTP said.

Detective Constable Oliver Gilbert, of BTP's south London robbery squad, said: “The victims were cornered on a moving train and with no means of escape, and Matu was able to put them in such fear that they handed over their property.

“These offences were extremely serious - although no knife was ever seen by the victims - Matu intimated that he had one.”
