DISINFO: A man was fined for eating bacon in front of Muslims in Sweden

SUMMARY

A man was fined for eating bacon in front of Muslims in Sweden.

RESPONSE

The man was charged after insulting women wearing veils on the grounds of their ethnicity and religion. The man held bacon in front of their face and demanded that they should eat it. When the three women changed to different seats, the man followed them. He also said he "hates Muslims". Attunda District Court judged that the man's intention was to insult the three passengers on the grounds of their ethnic origin and creed. www.thelocal.se/20170901/no-a-man-was-not-convicted-in-sweden-for-eating-bacon, , theins.ru/antifake/69387,
