Debatt i Lund: Freedom of Expression - YouTube
"Debatt i Lund: Is Sweden an Outlier or a brave Freedom of Expression Defender? What Do Academics Say?
How sacred is freedom of speech in Sweden? Quran burnings have thrust Sweden onto the global stage. The acts have been condemned by both the Swedish government and the Muslim world.
While some view the demonstrations as an attack on already marginalised groups in Sweden, others argue that it is evidence of Sweden's principled defense of freedom of speech.
In this panel we want to offer an academic take on the Quran burnings.
Welcome to Debate in Lund, and meet four researchers in law, political science, Islamic studies, and human rights giving their perspective.
On the panel:
- Oliver Scharbrodt, Professor of Islamic Studies
- Karin Aggestam, Professor of Political Science and director of Centre of Advanced Middle Eastern Studies
- Karin Zackari, Researcher in Human Rights
- Vilhelm Persson, Professor in Public Law
Moderator: Andreas Ekström, writer and journalist Sydsvenskan
The debate will also be streamed online on Sydsvenskan.se and on YouTube:
