"Politicians who want to ban begging should read today's judgment,"

"The politician who calls for national ban on begging should read a judgment handed down by the Växjö district court today."

"It shows with all desirable clarity that there are already laws to use in the fight against the exploitation of the poor EU-citizens."

"Seven Bulgarian men who are in organized form utilized beggar was sentenced today to between 1.5 years and 5.5 years' imprisonment for, inter alia, trafficking in human beings."

"this will turn the point, in any case, in the first instance, for a terrific story that began with a foreign man was found badly beaten in a ditch outside of Växjö."

"the police investigation showed that the people who have lived in miserable conditions in Bulgaria by the recruiter promised a better life in Sweden as a beggar."

"So it was certainly not. Here they have been beaten if they are not pulled in enough money, they have been fined and received less food if they are in one way or another misshagat the men who ruled the business, some of them have got stay in cars."

"One of the beggars told during the trial that he was forced to beat his pregnant wife in the groin until she had a miscarriage."

"Why? ”The boss” was unhappy with his begging and liked to see her suffer. If he does not hit her, as would the tormentor himself to do it. And the tormentor would beat her until she died."

"There are more stories of this kind. The traffickers have been completely ruthless and it is well that the police put in enough time and resources to turn this complex investigation in the case."

"Now was not the prosecutor really all the way, a person was acquitted for complicity to trafficking in human beings, but the investigators have made a noble effort."

"Today's ruling should be of interest to the public discourse. The draw namely down the pants of the politicians who want to impose a national tiggeriförbud."

"this is The politicians who do not want to admit that they are trying to win points at the deeply unpleasant hatred towards the roma that exists in some circles. To hide the cynicism dress their kriminaliseringsiver in terms of the importance of combating the exploitation of poor people."

"This moves the rhetoric has, in substance, a critical flaw. Human trafficking is already prohibited. It is only to apply the law that exists now, if it is exploitation of vulnerable people that is the problem with begging."

" Politicians, please contact the Växjö district court for further studies in the subject."
