A 65-year-old woman from Jönköping is now charged with hate against a group of people since she wrote that immigration will lead to a lower IQ level in Sweden, Friatider reports.

“If this continues, the intelligence in Sweden will be at goldfish level”, the woman wrote on a Facebook page called “Stop Abuse of Power”. In her contributions, the woman also made a lot of critical comments about, among other things, Muslims.

Chamber prosecutor Lisa Hedberg, tells Sverige Radio that the number of investigations of hate speech against groups has increased since the “Network Examiner” systematically searches and reports posts, often made by older Swedes.

Today, the 65-year-old woman is brought to the district court. She stands trial for being suspected of hate against a group of people. The woman denies the crimes.
