sweden
home to hot blondes dead vikings and the
swedish chef
and you're going to put it into your
food now
add another thing to this list sweden is
now the proud owner of the title
the rape capital of europe
sweden has always had a reputation of
being a harmonious and liberal society
this image has been shattered as rape
has skyrocketed over the past five years
at the same time sweden has been going
through a revolutionary demographic
shift
that has seen the country taken more
refugees from islamic countries
than any western nation in the world
this immigration has led to culture
clashes
and to enclaves of self-contained
societies across sweden
this is annika henroth rostein she's a
swedish journalist who has extensively
covered the middle eastern migration
into sweden
what we have is first of all a very a
swedish culture
then we bring in like last year 190
000 people that come from a very
different culture a culture that isn't
liberal
that has radically different views on
women
on sexuality on gender on all these
things there's an explosion
yeah it would be clashes this is wrinkby
a leafy northern suburb of stockholm
also a completely
islamic area the police have said this
is a complete
no-go for them and for journalists
here a 60 minutes crew from australia is
attacked while doing a story on rink
[Music]
in order to come here and to prosper you
have to
adapt to that culture and that what
we're doing in europe is the
complete opposite they are saying how
can we adapt to you
do you think that sweden has a
responsibility to adapt
to the immigrants culture coming in
definitely
should a woman when they come here dress
you know modestly you know with pants
and with
sleeves is that important
it is our culture if you come to rinky b
obviously everywhere it's a dress code
you know
i got sweetest girlfriend sometimes i
said we got something to be scared
right it's scary is it dangerous here
sometimes sometimes yeah
we found out exactly how dangerous when
while we were setting up a shoot at a
neighboring location
we were approached by five men and told
to leave
while my crew took off i stayed to
simply ask
why we had to leave because i was still
wired
we have the sound of what happened next
how come it's a problem to uh to film
here
i don't want to be filmed i never why
what's the what's the why
i just don't want to spawn you know why
why is it wow
hello let me see i'm not filming
anything look look show me tell me what
you got
me show me what you got no no i'll fight
i don't want your phone
i was not the first person assaulted by
gangs of immigrants
nor will i be the last but women are
taking the brunt of the explosion of
violence across sweden
when i went to a police station i
noticed that the vast majority of the
people waiting to report a crime
were women later the police officer who
i met with told me
that most were there to report rape
these attacks are happening across
sweden including a rash of rapes at
music festivals
over the past two years dozens of young
women some as young as 12
were raped at these festivals across
sweden by hundreds of young immigrants
they used the tactic where dozens of men
surround one or more
girls in circles while the men in the
inner circle sexually attacks their
victims
the outer circle distracts and keeps out
anyone who would stop it
the attacks have become so common that
some bands most notably mumford and sons
refuse to play in sweden this has
happened multiple times
and to multiple victims then the issue
is that when it is reported
this was widely known by the people who
were there the police that was on the
scene but then it was
they put the lid on it so we they
covered up they covered it up
so we didn't learn about this until much
much later
while the police have told me that the
majority of the people that they arrest
for rape are from islamic backgrounds
brah the official keeper of swedish
crime statistics
curiously dropped the background of
those arrested from the official
statistics the government
has failed to recognize that it's made a
huge mistake
and the the european union has failed to
recognize that it's made a huge mistake
when we have this free movement
and the movement of course is flowing
toward the country with the most
generous
social benefit system the type of
benefits that immigrants receive in
sweden are significant and are all
encompassing
and include housing food education
and additional cash the government give
enough to to the immigrants
everything's enough this good work here
yeah life is good here
they better me a lot they give me a
house room
school all the swiss government facebook
while the staggering increase in rape
has made some news
this phenomenon has been coupled with a
shocking and less widely reported
increase in violent crime in general
over the past couple of years several
dangerous immigrant riots have broken
out
and shootings across sweden have
increased sharply
anders garazan and jacob ekstrom are
veteran and decorated policemen
who have decades of experience and are
tasked with policing within the
immigrant community
has there been an increase in violence
and crime here in sweden more violence
and
harder violence with the guns and what
type of weapons
are you guys seeing on the streets you
can see
kalashnikovs and grenades from the east
guns and guns everything you can find in
afghanistan you can find here
doesn't sweden have very strict gun laws
for sure you know
and we get all the time we got new laws
about guns
[Music]
tied it up more and
i think it's i think it's good but you
know the
the violence increased anyway this is a
former police station
which had to be moved a couple of years
ago now the police will tell you
that it simply became too unsafe for
them to have a full-time presence here
this man has been playing the accordion
for several years trying to bring some
musical cheer to the suburb
yet he has faced numerous attacks my
music my music other people
the police
please you need you need the police here
yeah the police
go back the police here would you go as
far as to say that
these no-go areas are essentially states
within a state
yeah most of the no-go areas is like
that
are there areas where if you're pursuing
uh somebody where you'll simply stop and
not pursue them once they get into this
no-go area yeah if uh the police is
chasing
uh uh another car for
some kind of crime if they reach
what we call an aquarius the police
wouldn't go after if you see the
violence really spreading across sweden
into the cities
at least one or two times a week
and let's say five years ago how often
would you say it was
no three times a year
really the increase in this in this kind
of crime is exponential
i think we caught uh quote uh off guard
we didn't expect it to be so so much
uh so much increase do you think there's
a deliberate attempt to cover up these
type of crimes
rather than that they they don't want to
seem racist is there a sort of
sensitivity or people scared
that if you identify who's committing
these type of crimes
that you could be labeled or racist of
course i think this is uh
you see issues make people nervous
all over the world not only even in
sweden it's make me nervous as well
if we're talking about that and because
you don't want to be called racist
no no this you know racist card is very
hard to
to to to deal with you know
of course especially if you are blonde
like me and now to add to these woes
sweden has had dozens of people go to
fight for isis
and they're starting to come back sweden
has had his first islamic terrorist
attack
do you think the sexual assault problem
is an islamic problem or
no no no i think it's a general problem
among among men yeah the problem isn't
like this culture or that culture the
problem is
male culture i don't think the immigrant
is the problem no it's not
like that's just like a tiny tiny bit of
the problem and like
when that happen happens like it's
because we didn't like
uh uh bring them in in the right way and
i don't see that connection at all and
i would very much like to see the
evidence of such a connection
do you think it's almost racist to make
that connection yes i think so
is there a point where you think that
swede has done too much to bring people
in or do you think there's no
there is no too much in helping people
and is there a limit do you think to how
many immigrants
sweden can take no
